A wealthy old man was lying on his deathbed when he realized—he’d never made a will! So, he immediately called his lawyer to draft one.
The next day, the lawyer arrived, and the old man said, “I want 25% of my money to go to charity. After all, I’ve enjoyed so much in life; it’s time to give something back.”
“How generous of you,” the lawyer replied. “I’ll make sure that’s taken care of.”
“I also want 25% to go to my son. He’s been eagerly waiting to get his hands on my money,” the old man added.
“Okay, I’ll take care of that,” the lawyer said.
“And the remaining 50% should go to my wife,” the old man continued, “but only if she agrees to remarry after I’m gone.”
A bit puzzled, the lawyer asked, “I’ll make sure that happens, but I have to ask—why do you want her to remarry?”
The old man smiled and said, “I just want to make sure that at least one man regrets my death.”
