Anybody hear this one last week and...better yet...does anyone know the answer.
A man lays dying on his bed, his wife is in the next room in labor. The dying man calls in his lawyer and has him amend his will. "If my wife gives birth to a boy, the boy will be 2/3 of my estate and my wife gets 1/3. If my wife gives birth to a girl, my wife gets 2/3 of my estate, my daughter gets 1/3." The lawyer adds this line to his will, the man signs it and then dies. Moments later, the wife gives birth to twins - a boy and a girl.
Question: How does the lawyer distribute the money |

He doesn't; there's no contingency for a boy and a girl. |

If it's a good lawyer, he marries the mom, keeps all the money, liquidates the estate, stashes the money in an off-shore account, divorces the wife, and moves to Bermuda with his hot girlfriend. |

All of the money goes to the wife. |

Doh! Hommell - I knew it would be one of those "it should have been so obvious" when someone got it right.
