Yet Another Lawyer Joke

The Wrong Way

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 pillow cases. He then directed her to take the bags of money to   
the
attic
and leave them directly above his bed. His plan was that 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 had gone up
in the attic to clean. Coming upon the two forgotten pillow cases   
stuffed with
cash she exclaimed, "Oh, that darned old fool, I knew he should have had   
me
put the money in the basement."
