[Fred A. Miller]

An old priest was dying. He sent a messenger for his IRS agent and his Lawyer 
to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered into his bedroom. 
As they entered the room, the priest held out his hand and motioned for them 
to sit on each side of his bed.

The priest clasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the 
ceiling. For a while no one said anything.  Both the IRS agent and the Lawyer 
were touched and flattered that the old priest would ask them to be with him 
during his final moment. They were also puzzled because the priest had never 
given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally the Lawyer asked, "Father, why did you ask the two of us to come?"

The old priest mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died 
between two thieves, and that's how I want to go.
