   The miserly millionaire called a family conference. "I'm placing a box of money in the attic," he said. "When I die, I intend to grab it on my way up to heaven. See that no one touches it until it's my time to go."
   The family respected his wishes. After his death, the millionaire's wife looked in the attic. The box was still there. "The fool!" she said. "I told him he should have put it in the basement."
