Lawyers are smarter.

A dying man who was a penny pincher told his doctor lawyer and pastor, "I have $90,000 under my matress. I want to take it with me, so at my funeral I want each of you to toss an envelope with $30,000 each into the grave"
And after telling them this he died.

At the funeral, each threw his envelope into the grave. Later, the pastor said, " I must confess. I needed $10,000 for my new church, so I only threw in $20,000"

The doctor admitted, " I needed $20,000 for new equipment at the hospital, so I only put $10,000 in the envelope"

" Gentlemen, I am shocked that you would blatantly ignore this man's final wish" said the lawyer.
" I threw in my personal check for the full amount"
