An elderly outport Newfoundland spinster called the Gambo lawyer's
office and told the receptionist she wanted to see the lawyer about having a will prepared...
>>>>>
>>>>> The receptionist suggested they set up an appointment for a convenient time for the spinster to come into the office.
The woman replied, 'You must understand, I've lived alone all my life, I rarely see anyone, and I don't like to go out. Would it be possible for the lawyer to come to my house?'
>>>>>
>>>>> The receptionist checked with the attorney who agreed and he went to the spinster's home for the meeting to discuss her estate and the will.
>>>>>
The lawyer's first question was, 'Would you please tell me what you have in assets and how you'd like them to be distributed under your will?'
>>>>>
>>>>> She replied, 'Besides the furniture and accessories you see here, I have $40,000 in my savings account at the bank. '
>>>>>
>>>>> 'Tell me,' the lawyer asked, 'how would you like the $40,000 to be distributed?'
>>>>>
The spinster said, 'Well, as I've told you, I've lived a reclusive
life, people have hardly ever noticed me, so I'd like them to notice when I pass on. I'd like to provide $35,000 for my funeral.'
>>>>>
The lawyer remarked, 'Well, for $35,000 you will be able to have a funeral that will certainly be noticed and will leave a lasting
impression on anyone who may not have taken much note of you!
But tell me,' he continued, 'what would you like to do with the remaining $5,000?'
>>>>>
>>>>> The spinster replied, 'As you know, I've never married, I've lived alone almost my entire life, and in fact I've never slept with a man.
>>>>>
>>>>> Before I die, I'd like you to use the $5,000 to arrange for a man to sleep with me.'
>>>>>
>>>>> 'This is a very unusual request,' the lawyer said, adding, 'but I'll see what I can do to arrange it and get back to you. '
>>>>>
>>>>> That evening, the lawyer was at home telling his wife about the eccentric spinster and her weird request.
>>>>>
>>>>> After thinking about how much she could do around the house with $5,000
>>>>> and with a bit of coaxing, she got her husband to agree to provide the service himself.
>>>>>
>>>>> She said, 'I'll drive you over tomorrow morning, and wait in the car until you're finished.'
>>>>>
>>>>> The next morning, she drove him to the spinster's house and waited while he went into the house.
>>>>>
>>>>> She waited for over an hour, but her husband didn't come out.
>>>>>
>>>>> So she blew the car horn.
>>>>>
>>>>> Shortly, the upstairs bedroom window opened, the lawyer stuck his head out and yelled, 'Pick me up tomorrow, she's going to let the GOVERNMENT bury her.'
