"Help Bury A Lawyer?" joke

A lawyer, known more for his drinking at the bar than for his practice before it, died in poverty.
The other attorneys from the city, feeling sorry for his family, started a fund to cover his funeral expenses.
A local businessman was asked to make a contribution.
"Will you please donate a dollar, so we can bury a lawyer?"
"Only a dollar to bury a lawyer?" asked the businessman, "Here's $100 -- go and bury 99 more of them."
