Its the way you go

[Lonnie]

An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his Accountant and his
Lawyer to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his
bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and
motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped their
hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.

For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and Lawyer were touched
and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during his
final moment. They were also puzzled because the preacher had never give 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 preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died
between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too."
