"I recently had a client who asked me, as his lawyer, to draft his Last Will and Testament with the following language in it:
" ITEM V: However, should my said wife predecease me, or die within sixty (60) days of my death and if I have no living children at the time of my death, then I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to [name deleted], IN TRUST, to be held for the benefit of two musicians commonly known to the him as Johnny Marr and Morrissey. I direct the trustee to send a certified letter to each of the two musicians, or otherwise make personal contact with them or their representatives, stating that if they meet with one another alone in the same room for more than one hour they can be given all of the property held within the trust. Should they refuse, the trustee is directed to set up a scholarship fund in the name of the two musicians and administer the scholarship fund in a manner that is prudent to him."
I found it rather amusing that this guy had a dying wish for Morrissey and Marr to get together. Also, judging from this guy's potential estate, Morrissey and Marr could divide a couple of million dollars just for getting together for an hour. I told him that their separation was more a matter of principle than a matter of money but he still wanted to put them in his will in some way.
How can they resist a man's dying wish that they get together?"
Now that's a desparate Smiths fan!!
