One day a man died.

This man had several million dollars saved up which he never spent and was always very protective over.

His family couldn't wait for him to die so they could get their share. They'd already spent every cent in their minds.

When the dead dude's lawyer presented the last will & testament he informed the family that the man left every dime to some RfM member named Kolobian.

The money was placed into Kolobian's checking account and he was immediately bombarded by emails and eventually a visit at work from the dead dude's enraged family.

They laid the guilt trip on pretty hard and demanded, then pleaded with Kolobian to give them the money they felt was rightfully theirs.

Kolobian smiled, and the following dialogue took place:

Kolobian: Do you believe in god?
Dead Dude's Family: Yes, of course.
Kolobian: Do you believe jesus is god?
Dead Dude's Family: Yes.
Kolobian: Do you believe that whatever happens is god's will?
Dead Dude's Family: Yes, but god would want you to give us the money.
Kolobian: Fair enough. I'll give your god 30 days to tell me personally what I should do with the money. If I don't hear from your god in 30 days, I'm keeping the money.
Dead Dude's Family: But that's not fair!
Kolobian: You just said that whatever happens is god's will. If he doesn't show, then it's his will that I keep the money.

(Kolobian motions for security to escort the Dead Dude's Family out)

...about three ministers discussing what part of the collections they keep for themselves.

Minister 1: I draw a circle on the ground and throw the money in the air. What lands inside the circle is the Lord's.

Minister 2: I do the same thing, but what lands outside the circle is the Lord's.

Minister 3: I don't use a circle. I just toss the money in the air and let God grab what he wants.

Yes it's an old joke, but it's still funny! ;)

Very astute. Shouldn't you be brokering deals between super powers or something?

Unfortunately, in real life they don't e-mail you, they sue you. The judge always allows it because they are "family". Family usually trumps the deceased's intentions, no matter how iron clad.

You may win the lawsuit, but you will have spent all the money on the trial. The lawyers will be very grateful that they can now send their children to Harvard.

I have personally witnessed this several times, involving mormon family back when all my friends were dropping like flies back in the nineties. Surviving partners of ten years or more kicked to the curb by a family that the deceased did not even stay in touch with anymore.
