The Box Of Money The miserly millionaire called a family conference. "I'm placing a box of money in the attic," he told the assembled group. "When I die I intend to grab it on my way to Heaven. See to it that no one touches it!" The family respected his wishes. After his demise his wife looked in the attic and was not surprised to find the box of money still there. "The stubborn fool!" she said, "I told him over and over that he should have put it in the basement!"
