A Dying Mans Last Wish

A dying drug addict called his three best friends to his bedside and handed each of them an envelope containing $5,000 in cash. He made them promise that after his death and during his viewing, they would place the three envelopes in his casket. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy heaven. A few days later the man died. At the viewing, the three friends, each placed an envelope in the casket and said goodbye to their friend. These three men met again a few months later. The first friend, feeling overwhelmed, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $1,000 in the envelope he put in the casket. He thought, rather than waste all the money, he would spend it on a trip to Florida to buy cocaine. The next friend, moved by the confession of the first, said that he too had kept some of the cash for a fun party. His envelope, he fessed up, had only $800 in it. He said, he could not bring himself to waste the money when it could be used to have a high time. By this time the last friend, a pot head, spoke. "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 casket contained the full amount. My envelope contained my personal check for the entire $5,000."
