A Brooklyn lawyer, a used car salesman and a banker gather by a coffin containing the body of an old friend.
In his grief, one of the three says, "In my family, we have a custom of giving the dead some money, so they’ll have something to spend over there."
They all agree that this is appropriate.
The banker drops a hundred dollar bill into the casket, and the car salesman does the same. The lawyer takes out the bills and writes a check for $300.
