An Old Man's Dying Request
An elderly man, 82, just returned from the doctors only to find he didn't have long to live. So he summoned the three most important people in his life to tell them of his fate.
His Doctor, His Priest and His Lawyer
Well, today I found out I don't have long to live. So I have summoned you three here, because you are the most important people in my life, and I need to ask a favor. Today, I am going to give each of you and envelope with $50,000 dollars inside.
When I die, I would ask that all three of you throw the money into my grave.
After the man passed on, the 3 people happened to run into each other. The doctor said, "I have to admit I kept $10,000 dollars of his money, he owed me on lots of medical bills. But, I threw the other $40,000 in like he requested."
The Priest said, "I have to admit also, I kept $25,000 dollars for the church. Its all going to a good cause. I did, however, throw the other $25,000 in the grave."
Well the Lawyer just couldn't believe what he was hearing!
"I am surprised at you two taking advantage of him like that."
" I did the right thing ! "
"I wrote a check for the full amount and threw it all in ! ! !"

He said well the church pays me sustenance allowance - however after the sermon I pass a plate around on which the congregation put in their donation - I then stand in front of the alter & draw a line in front of me & toss the plate's contents - what falls on the other side of the line goes to the church & what falls on my side, I accept it in all humility.
> The 2nd was a Hindu Pandit -
He said, well I too follow a similar practice, but instead of the line I draw a circle - stand in the middle & toss the plate's contents up - what falls outside the circle goes to the temple & what's within I accept in all humility.
> The 3rd was a Rabbi -
He said, well I neither draw a line nor a circle, I just stand in front of the alter and toss the plate's contents up - "What goes up, goes to the Lord & what comes down, I accept with grace & humility

@ nagarifle. Outstanding. Ha ha
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose
