An old miser, due to his terrible cheapness, had no friends nor family, except for BadBobby, PoppaGringo & Slatten49.

Just before he died he called his only three friends. They complied, and gathered together around his bed.

"I always heard you can't take it with you, but I am going to prove you can," he said.

"I have $90,000 cash hidden underneath my mattress. It's in 3 envelopes of $30,000 each. I want each one of you to grab one envelope now and just before they throw the dirt on my grave, you throw the envelopes in."

Weeks later, the three attended the funeral, and true to their word, each threw in their envelope into the grave.

On the way back from the cemetery, PoppaGringo said, "I don't feel so good about this, I am going to confess, I desperately needed $10,000 for a Hawaiian vacation, so I took out $10,000 and threw only $20,000 in the grave."

Slatten49 said, "I, too, must confess. My grandchildren needed tending to, so I took $10,000 and threw in only $20,000." He looked ashamed.

BadBobby said, "My esteemed Marine buddies...I'm surprised, shocked and ashamed of both of you. I don't see how you could in good conscience hold on to that money. I did the honorable thing and threw in a personal check for the ENTIRE amount."

Good for BadBobby. He will be generous with his distribution of the money, so will share it with a few good and needy people. I will not be one. It is up to you to determine if it is because I am evil or just not needy.
