A fund-raiser met God one day and said, "God, is it true that a thousand
years on earth is but a mere second to you?"
God replied, "Yes, that's right"
The fund-raiser, pressing the issue, said, "Well, if that's true, then it
must also be true that one penny to you would be worth a million dollars
on earth."
Yes, that was also true, replied God.
"Well," says the fund-raiser, "Would you be willing to give a penny
to my organization?"
"Of course," says God. "Just a second."

50 Ways to Leave Your Money
"The problem is all inside your Will", she said to me
"Estate plans are easy if they're set up logically
I'd like to help you in your quest to die tax-free
There must be fifty ways to leave your money."
She said, "It's really not my habit to include
Bequests to pets and fish and kids with attitude.
So I repeat myself, at the risk of sounding rude
There must be fifty ways to leave your money.
Fifty ways to leave your money."
Just get a Buy Sell, Mel, make a new SCIN, Tim
If you're not sick, Rick, some insurance is key
Set up a CRAT, Pat, maybe a new GRAT
Start an FLP, Lee, the rest to charity
She said "It grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to ease your capital gain."
I said, I appreciate that, but would you please explain
about the fifty ways
She said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight"
And I believe, in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she billed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your money,
Fifty ways to leave your money.
Just get a Buy Sell, Mel, make a new SCIN, Tim
If you're not sick, Rick, some insurance is key
Set up a CRAT, Pat, maybe a new GRAT
Start an FLP, Lee, the rest to charity
