Not so much an LOL, as food for thought.
Usual John sends part of this series: “In this series, Spud is performing for the Maclellans at breakfast.”
Spud, a neighborhood friend of Wallace, is breaking out of his usual shyness.

Comics I Don't Understand 
Okay, the neighboring wise man loans the estate one of his own sheep. Now there are 60. All the fractions specified in the will (like “half of my sheep”) can now be settled using just whole numbers of sheep, avoiding the problem of distributing fractional sheep. It turns out the combined inheritances add up to 59 sheep, so the leftover one can now be returned to the neighboring wise man.
I’m all with Glasbergen about neckties.
Not many people wear neckties on a day-to-day basis any more.
From the ties they’re wearing I’d guess that was made in the ’80s (the tie clips would have been a little old-fashioned even then). The ’90s gave us casual Fridays and in the ’00s we shifted to daily business casual in most offices. Then we had the telecommuting trend which of course became widespread during COVID.
Now I don’t know what the hell people are wearing to the office, but I don’t think it’s black slacks and white, collared shirts with ties. In the world of two thousand and twenty-six those guys are dressed like Mormons about to go door to door or buffet attendants on break.
Mitch4: Sounds similar to the bellhop and the missing dollar bill puzzle.
First of all, when someone dies leaving ten million dollars, the executor must pay the debts of the estate, which may include ten million dollars of medical debt for all we know. Then the will may be contested, say by the daughter not mentioned. At which point lawyers WILL show up, and the lawyer for the estate will be paid by the hour, as will the executor. Perhaps the judge will rule in favor of the daughter and direct 1/5 of the estate to her. Finally, after the funeral expenses, all the bills, and all the lawyers have been paid, there will be $10 left over. Wife gets $2, son gets $2, daughter gets $2, butler gets $1, and charity gets $3.
Depends on the state. Missouri has a fee schedule for the executor and the attorney. That generally can’t be deviated from.
I’m the executor of an estate that I hope to close out next month, or at least get the heirs to sign off on closing.
I get a set fee. I don’t know if the attorney fees are also set.
