Another bad religious joke. This one has a title:
You can't take it with you.
An old man who for years was a Wall Street executive is at home, on his deathbed. His wife at his side. The old man sits up and whispers into his wife's ear. "Take all our money, and put it into a box in the attic, right above the bedroom here." The wife is aghast, but he insists.
So the woman gathers up all their money, puts it into a box, and takes it up into the attic. She comes back down to his bedside and the old man asks, "Did you do as I asked?" "Yes" she replies. He then takes one last gasp of air, and croaks.
After a few minutes of mourning, the old woman's curiosity gets the best of her and she heads up to the attic. Sure enough, the box with all the money is still there, to which the old woman utters, "I knew I should have put it in the basement."
