There was a wealthy man 
who loved his money so much that he did not have many friends. 
But he did have three good friends.

First, he had a lawyer who helped him take advantage of other people.
The second was an accountant friend who helped him to count his money.
And the third was a minister of religion to whom he went to every week to confess his sins because he took advantage of people all week.

When he got old

And he was about to die, he said I have been rich all my life and I cannot stand going to the grave poor. I am going to give  you an envelop with $50.000 each. I want you to promise me that when I die you will put that money in my casket. 
They promised they all would.
The rich man died and the three men put their envelopes into the casket.

Then he was buried.

A short time later the three men came together because two of them had guilty consciences.
The minister said I thought about the poor people in my congregation so I decided to just take out $25,000 for my church and in the casket I put in $25,000
Well
The lawyer said I gave so much free  legal advice that I decided to take $25000 out and I put in the casket $25,000
Well, well, well
said the accountant. Our rich man trusted you, but each of you stole $25,000 from him.
How dare you!
Well.
I cannot believe you did that. How can you both be so dishonest, so unethical.
I want you to know that in my envelope that I put in the casket was a cheque for the full $50.000
