The making of a politician...



A father told his 3 sons when he sent them to the
university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best
possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that.
However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put
$1,000 into my coffin when I die."



And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a
financial planner, each very successful financially. When their
father’s time had come and they saw their father in the coffin,
they remembered his wish.



First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the
deceased.



Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there.



Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his
pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it
into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash



He later went on to become a member of Congress...

I like the way he thinks.

That was good. Reminds me of a true story I read years back about one of the son's renting a tuxedo for Dad in his funeral.The family kept getting bills from the men's shop. Tux was not for sale,only rental.Don't know how they ever worked that one out.
