Joke of the day: A Wealthy Old Man Was Lying On His Bed

As his final days approached, a wealthy elderly man lay in quiet contemplation. With a sudden pang of urgency, he realized something crucial: he had never drafted a will. Despite a lifetime of accumulating wealth, he had left no guidance on how it should be divided. Determined to correct this, he immediately summoned his long-trusted lawyer.

When the lawyer arrived the next morning, the man began with sincerity in his voice:
“I want 25% of my estate to go to charity. I’ve taken so much from the world—it’s time I gave something back.”
The lawyer nodded respectfully, moved by the sentiment. “That’s very noble,” he said. “I’ll see to it right away.”

The man then shifted focus to his family, his tone laced with dry humor:
“I also want 25% to go to my son. He’s been waiting for this moment longer than he’ll admit.”
The lawyer smiled, jotting down the request. “Understood. He’ll get his share.”

Then came a rather unconventional instruction. The old man leaned in slightly, his eyes twinkling with mischief:
“I want the remaining 50% to go to my wife—on one condition: she must remarry after I’m gone.”
The lawyer blinked in surprise. “Of course,” he replied, “but may I ask—why the condition? That’s not something I hear every day.”

The man chuckled softly, savoring the moment.
“Simple,” he said. “I want to make sure at least one man regrets that I’m no longer around.”
