Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near.
His nurse, his wife, his daughter and two 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 fool has a paper
route!"
