Deathbed Conversation:
Doug Pender lived all his life in the
Florida Keys and is on his deathbed. He knows the end is near. His nurse,
his wife, his daughter and two sons, are with him. He asks for two witnesses
to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes, and
when all is ready he begins to speak:
"My son, Bernie, I want you to take the
Ocean Reef houses."
"My daughter Sybil, you take the
apartments between mile markers 100 and Tavernier."
"My son, Jamie, I want you to take the
offices over in the Marathon Government Center."
"Sarah, my dear wife, please take all
the residential buildings on the bayside on Blackwater Sound."
The nurse and witnesses are blown away
as they did not realize his extensive holdings, and as Doug slips away, the
nurse says, "Mrs. Pender, your husband must have been such a hard-working
man to have accumulated all this property."
The wife replies, "The asshole had a
paper route."
