Mr. Dooley on Making a Will and Other Necessary Evils

Excerpt from Mr. Dooley on Making a Will and Other Necessary Evils

SO i'r wan reason or another I've niver made a will, but I'll not deny it must be con Sidhrable spoort f'r thim that has th' manes an' th' imagination to injye it. I'm pretty sure I'd bust into tears whin th' lawyers wrote down th' directions i'r somebody else to set in me rockin' chair, an' I can't think iv anything that wud brighten th' wurruld with me out iv it. But that wud be because I wuddn't go at it in th' right way. TO be injyeable a will must be at wan an' th' Same time a practical joke on th' heirs an' an ad vertisemint iv the man that made it. Manny a man niver has his Own way till he has it through his will. Afther he's dead an' gone he shoves his hat on th' back iv his head an stalks up an' down through th' house, say ing, 'i'll show ye who's th' boss here. F'r th' first time in me life, now that I'm dead, I'm goin' to be obeyed.' NO wondher that.
