Intestate Succession September 13, 2014
Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Joke.trackback
Doug Smith is on his deathbed; he knows the end is near. His wife, daughter and 2 sons are with him, along with a nurse.
Doug looks at his oldest son, “Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses.”
Bernie nods.
“Sybil, take the apartments over in Pall Mall.”
Sybil agrees.
Doug looks at his youngest son, “Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in City Center.”
Jamie says, “Sure, pop.”
At last, Doug turns to his wife of 27 years, “Sarah, my darling, please take all the residential buildings on the Thames.”
As Doug slips away, the nurse says, “Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been a hard working man to have accumulated all that property.”
Sarah snorts, “Property? I wish.”
Confused, the nurse looks around.
Bernie nods in the direction of the bed. “Dear old dad ran a cleaning service.”
Aah . . . that’s better!

Didn’t see that coming, Nancy! That’s great…thanks for the Saturday morning laugh! 🙂
Morning, Jill! Hope your weekend is filled with smiles.
I was ready for a really sad post…maybe it was for the family. I can’t imagine inheriting a paper route.
Especially in these digital days.
I’ll change it to cleaning service. 😉
Me too! I’m all about that!
Done and DUSTED!
Lol! I was not expecting that. Thanks, Nancy, for the giggle.
Unexpected punchlines are the best.
Saturday snicker. 🙂 Thanks.
Have a smile filled weekend.
Was not expecting a funny when I saw this in the old inbox! I thought you were going to tell us about wills and trusts. Then I thought about Monopoly as I was reading and thought no that can’t be it.. funny 😀 So it was a paper route at first.. Ha. Hope you are having a great Florida afternoon!
Haha! From Wills and Trusts to Monopoly. We had a “cold front” come through ~ it’s a balmy 84 degrees right now.
Well, all the heirs cleaned up as a result of the bequests, didn’t they? 🙂
They did Clean Up!
Ha, you had me fooled right to the end Nancy, thanks for the Sunday morning chuckles!
Good morning . . . all the way on the other side of the world.
🙂
Thanks for the laugh, Nancy 🙂 Hope all is well with you and yours!
Hi Naomi! Things must be warming up in your part of the world. Hope you and Dave are happily engaged with your studio and your treks.
I enjoyed the two pics 🙂
B&W prints pair well with the grim reaper.
Hmmm… I wouldn’t be too happy being left with more housework to do … I’d rather take the burden of unpaid bills, thank you 🙂
Inheriting a Cleaning Service isn’t my idea of a Windfall either.
Well played, dad! 😀
Not only of sound mind, but also CLEAN! 😀
I heard this one where Dad had a a paper route …. Still a good one 🙂
This dad also had a paper route . . . but Kate & I voted to change it to a cleaning service.
Good one! Also serves as a lesson again eavesdropping and the potential for misinterpreting a conversation. 🙂
Haha! I bet the nurse was expecting a big tip!
