Chuckles From Down Under

A miser called his doctor, lawyer and minister to his death bed.

“When I die I want to take my money with me,” said the miser. “So I’m going to ask each of you to take one of these envelopes, each containing $30,000 in cash and throw them into the grave at my funeral.”

The men did as they were told, but later the minister confessed that he had kept $10,000 for the church and thrown in the rest.

“I’m building a new surgery,” admitted the doctor, “so I kept $20,000 and only threw in $10,000.

“I’m ashamed of you both!” scolded the lawyer. “I threw in a cheque for the full amount.”
