A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and
Clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them
an envelop containing $25,000 in cash. He made
them each promise that after his death and during
his repose, they would place the three envelops in his coffin. He told
them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life. A
week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and
Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old
client and friend
farewell.
By chance, these three met several
months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling
guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in
the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all
the money, he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked
for their forgiveness.
The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergyman's sincerity, confessed that
he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The
envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not
bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used
to benefit others.
By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He
expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of
his oldest and most trusted friends. I am the only one who kept his
promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope
I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope
contained my personal check for the entire $25,000.

Joe: Why don't you play golf with Bob any more?
Mike: Would you play with someone who curses after each shot, cheats
in the bunkers and enters false scores on his card?
Joe: No!
Mike: Neither will Bob

Geez gang, I'm gonna have to come back to this...all the contributions I have received this morning, were 'not so clean'....if ya know what I mean. I'll add the rest as soon as I get some good ones.
