A stingy old lawyer who had been diagnosed with a terminal
illness was determined to prove wrong the saying, "You can't take
it with you."

After much thought and consideration, the old ambulance chaser
finally figured out how to take at least some of his money with
him when he died. He instructed his wife to go to the bank and
withdraw enough money to fill two pillowcases. He then directed
her to take the bags of money to the attic and leave them
directly above his bed. His plan: When he passed away, he would
reach out and grab the bags on his way to Heaven.

Several weeks after the funeral, the deceased lawyer's wife, up
in the attic cleaning came upon the two forgotten pillowcases
stuffed with cash. "Oh, that old fool," she exclaimed. "I knew he
should have had me put the money in the basement."
