A very wealthy man was on his death bed and called three local ministers to his side. He asked a special favor of them as he spoke, "I have divided my fortune into three equal parts and turned it into cash. I am asking that each of you take one briefcase filled with $10 million and bring it to my funeral and place it in my casket just before it is sealed forever." The three ministers looked at each to survey the others reaction and then finally agreed. He then said, "to make sure you are all present, you will be picked up by my special limousine and taken to the funeral home on the day of my burial. You will be the last to view my body and that is when you place the money in my casket. I will then have my money in the afterlife".
The day of the funeral arrived and the three ministers were each picked up and driven to the funeral home. Just as they had been asked, they waited until everyone had left and they were alone and one at a time, they walked up to the casket and placed their briefcase inside. They accompanied the hearse to the cemetery and witnessed the lowering and covering. Just as he wished.
On the drive home, the ministers were starting to feel a little guilt and the Methodist minister said, "brothers I have a confession to make. Our homeless kitchen was in dire need of remodeling and supplies so I kept $100,000 of the money for that very worthy need". The Catholic Priest said, "I too have a confession, our orphanage is way behind schedule and over budget and the kids aren't going to have a place to live so I too kept out $100,000 to help get it finished". The Baptist minister sat with his arms folded rather indignantly and said, "Brothers, I am appalled. This good man asked men of the cloth he could trust to do this special favor and you have deceived him and stolen from the dead. I want you to know that I have fulfilled my obligation as promised and I put my PERSONAL CHECK in that briefcase for the entire amount"...........
