The world’s richest man is dying. He’s made peace with that. But what bothers him is no one in the afterlife will even know it.
He’s a self-made man who created this vast fortune from scratch, but he can’t take it with him. Not that he could spend it, of course, but just to SHOW everyone what a great success the poor boy had become.

You can talk.” The dog says, “Yeah, I escaped from an experimental lab, but I don’t shout about it.” The man says come home with me. I’ve got an idea that will make us a fortune.

A crow was sitting in a tree whistling a tune… A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Sam died and left $50,000 in his will for an elaborate funeral.
As the last attenders left, Sam’s wife, Rose, turned to her oldest friend, Sadie, and said: “Well, I’m sure Sam would be pleased.” “I’m sure you’re right” replied Sadie, who leaned in close and lowered her voice to a whisper: “tell me, how much did it really cost?” “All of it” said Rose. “50,000.” “No!” Sadie exclaimed.” I mean, it was very nice, but really…….$50,000?” Rose nodded. “The funeral was $6500. I donated $500 to the synagogue. The food and drinks for another $500. And the rest went towards the memorial stone.”
