An elderly gentleman was on his deathbed as his wife, three children, and a nurse stood nearby. Then he spoke:
“Bill, you take the Beverly Hills houses.
Mary, you take the offices in the Center Center.
Debra, the apartments over the L.A. Plaza are yours.
To my dear wife, take all the residential buildings near downtown.”
The nurse, impressed, commented:
“Your husband must have been quite a man, amassing so much property to leave to all of you.”
The wife replied:
“What property? … the schmuck had a paper route!”
