He Didn't take It With Him

A man did not want to leave his family any money when he died. So he put all that he had in two suitcases. Then put the suitcases in the attic right above his bedroom. He figured that way when he died, on his way up he would grab the suitcases and take it all with him. When the day came that he died, his wife and son ran up into the attic, they wanted to see if all that money was still there. When they got there, sure enough both suitcases were right where he left them. His wife said, "See, I told him he should've put them in the basement." Submitted by: Brian W.
