An old man lies dying 🍯🍮🍭❕

As he lies there, he tells his three sons:

Father: Listen, my children. Throughout my life, the thing I valued most is being idle. As such, the one who will receive all my money is the one who is the laziest of you three. Alex, come over here.

Alex comes.

Father: Alex, let's say you are sitting, and you see the wind carry a hundred dollar bill. Just snatch them out of the air, and you'll have them. What will you do?

Alex: Just keep sitting, father. Why strain myself?

Father: Good words, Alex, good words. Max, come over here.

Max comes.

Father: Max, imagine a situation. A beautiful young girl is reaching her arms out to you. Just reach back, and she is yours. What will you do?

Max: Nothing, Dad. Why make the effort?

Father: Beautiful words, Max. Absolute gold. Jim, come over here.

Jim: Come over here yourself!

The old man said, "Mary, I want you to have the condos in the neighborhood by the shore.
"Michael, I want you to have the apartments near the shopping district."
"And Jake, I want you to have the offices in the business complex."

The old man's wife was standing with her sister, and the sister says, "Wow, Rose, I didn't know Sam did so well for himself! All those properties!"
And Rose says, "Those aren't properties. Those are his darned papers routes!"
