Mrs. Applebee, the 6th grade teacher, posed the following problem to one of her arithmetic classes:"A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars.
One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity. Now, what does each get?"
After a very long silence in the classroom, Little Morris raised his hand.
The teacher called on Little Morris for his answer.
With complete sincerity in his voice, Little Morris answered, "A lawyer!"

I used to work for a lawyer. I can assure you that it is no joke for the most part. Sucks!
without a doubt, that kid got that right
LOL! This is one smart boy! It is also a good way to answer if one is not a big fan of Maths!:)
That was great, Sandee! Too bad the lawyer is gonna end up with all of it. :)
They each would probably get a lot more without the lawyers.
The little boy's dad is obviously a lawyer or doesn't like attorneys!
