A Madam opened the brothel door to see a rather slick looking, well-dressed, just past middle-age gentleman. "Can I help you?" the Madam asked.

"I want to see Natalie", the slick looking chap said.

"Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies, perhaps someone else..."

"No, I must see Natalie."

Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the man that she charges $1,000 per visit. Without blinking, the man reached into his pocket and counted out ten $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour, after which the man calmly left. The next night he appeared again requesting to see Natalie. Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row and that there were no discounts...it was still $1,000 a visit.

Again the man took out the exact amount, the two went up to the room and an hour later, he left. When he showed up the third consecutive night, no one could believe it. Again he handed Natalie the money and up to the room they went. As he was leaving Natalie questioned the man. "No one has ever used my services three nights in a row. Where are you from?"

The old man replied, "I'm from Philadelphia."

"Really?" replied Natalie. "I have family who lives there."

" Yes, I know," said the old man. "Your great aunt died, and I'm your sister's attorney. She asked me to bring you your $3,000 inheritance."

Moral of the story: Some things in life you can count on: Taxes, Death, and being screwed by a lawyer.
