Three daughters and their father

A father told his 3 daughters when he sent them to college: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.”

And so it happened, one became a doctor, one a lawyer, and one a financial planner, each very financially successful. When their father's time had come, and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.

First, it was the doctor who put 20 newly printed, crisp $50 notes onto the chest of her dead father.

Then came the financial planner, who also placed $1,000 in cash there.

Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. She dipped into her purse, took out her chequebook, wrote a cheque for $3,000, placed it into her father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.

She is now running for President of the United States.
