The Reading of the Will

Steven West
John Alexander, wealthy publisher, has passed away. It is now time for the reading of the will.

To my dear daughter Jennifer, you have taken care of me through all my illnesses. You have been a shining light to my failing health. I bequeath to you twenty million dollars and the mansion that I have lived in for over forty years.

To my son Scott, you have been my right hand man in running my business. You have always been respectful and honest with me. I bequeath to you five million dollars, the ownership of the family business, and the house in Phoenix.

Finally, to my son Joe, you have been a complete failure. You've gone through money like water. You have ripped off all the members of the family. You have been a major disappointment. To my son Joe, I leave you a package of condoms. You have screwed everyone all your life. Now you can screw yourself.
