A lawyer was known to be a bit grasping. He had just made out a will for an old lady client who was passing away.

The next day the old lady, very near the end, said to him, "About my will--I've added something to it. I've given you"

"Just one minute, my good friend," said the lawyer, wishing to have witnesses for the remark. "I've given you" and she stopped again.

"Yes, yes," urged the lawyer. Then she finished, "A-great--
