A dying man gave $25,000 in cash to each of his three best friends - a lawyer, doctor, and clergyman - to place in his coffin after his death. After the man died, the clergyman and doctor each confessed to only putting $10,000 and $8,000 respectively in the envelopes and donating the rest to charity. The lawyer was outraged and said he was the only one who kept his promise by placing his own personal check for the full $25,000 in the coffin.

Honest Lawyer?
A dying man gave each of his best friends -- a lawyer,
doctor and clergyman -- an envelope containing
$25,000 in cash to be placed in his coffin.
A week later the man died and the friends each placed
an envelope in the coffin. Several months later, the
clergyman confessed that he only put $10,000 in the
envelope and sent the rest to a mission in South
America.
The doctor confessed that his envelope had only
$8,000 because he donated the rest to a medical
charity.
The lawyer was outraged, "I am the only one who
kept my promise to our dying friend. I want you both
to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin
contained my own personal check for the entire
$25,000."
Reflections:
1 In a world where people seem to be getting more
greedy and dishonest, one needs to be careful as to
whom one can trust.
2 Beware! Seemingly professional people may
harbor unwholesome intentions in them.

THE HUSBAND'S BEST FRIEND
A woman met with her lover, who was also her husband's
best friend.
They made love for hours. Afterwards, as they lay in bed, the
phone rang. Since it was the woman's house, she picked up
the receiver. The lover, her husband’s best friend listened,
only hearing her side of the conversation:
"Hello? Oh, hi... I'm so glad that you called... Really? That's
wonderful... Well, I'm happy to hear you're having such a
great time... Oh, that sounds terrific... Love you, too. OK.
Bye-bye."
She hanged up the telephone and her lover asked, "Who was
that?"
"Oh," she replied, "That was my husband telling me about
the wonderful time he's having on his fishing trip with you."
Reflection
* In a world where morality seems to be declining,
are more and more spouses cheating on each other?
Beware of the terrible consequences of infidelity.
