A Brooklyn lawyer, a used car salesman and a banker were gathered by a coffin¹ containing the body of an old friend. In his grief², one of the three said, "In my family, we have a custom of giving the dead some money, so they?ll have something to spend over there."

They all agreed that this was appropriate. The banker dropped a hundred dollar bill into the casket, and the car salesman did the same. The lawyer took out the bills and wrote a check for $300.
