What I've Learned From Shakespeare's Plays, #2,745
This began when I asked my brother if there were any grounds on which I could legally tithe him, i.e. take 10% of his annual income.
B: "As my beneficiary, your only option is to kill me. But you'd have to wait four more years to do that, because that benefit won't apply until then."
Me: "But what if you get married before then and make your wife the beneficiary?"
B: "Then you'd have to kill her too."
Me: "Okay, great."
B: "Just remember, though, you have to kill her first, then me. That's the only way you can collect."
Me: "Of course! If there's anything I've learned from Shakespeare, it's the correct order in which you need to kill people in order to collect an inheritance."
