A person’s dying wishes are considered to be sacred things. The idea is that after living a hard and long life, we should honor the last wishes of a person who is passing away. After all, they’ve paid their dues, right? They’re asking this one thing, so we should try our best to do it. I’ve never really thought about what my dying wishes would be, but I guess someday I’ll know. One thing for sure is that I won’t have a lot of concern about the jobs from my past when I’m drawing my last breath. I’ll be focused on family and friends, and on my precious cats, I’m sure. However, the old man in the joke below had some other things in mind. This is what dedication looks like, folks. Enjoy this hilarious joke!
Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near. His nurse, his wife, his daughter, and 2 sons, are with him.
He asks for 2 witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes, and when all is ready he begins to speak:
“My son, Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses.”
“My daughter Sybil, you take the apartments over in the east end.”
“My son, Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City Centre.”
“Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the river.”
The nurse and witnesses are blown away as they did not realize his extensive holdings, and as Doug slips away, the nurse says, “Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been such a hard-working man to have accumulated all this property”.
Sarah replies, “Property? …. the old buggar had a paper route!”
