Dead men tell no tales, but they do pay $300 per week

Well, I still like Scott Chaffin's idea of running out of money and breath at the same time, but you have to admire someone who can go out with a sense of humor:

LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- A deceased cattle rancher in Bozeman, Montana, took care of his heirs by installing an automatic teller machine in his tombstone.

Cattle rancher Grover Chestnut died earlier this year at the age of 79. However, before he cashed in, he installed an ATM at his tombstone and gave ten heirs debit cards, and told them were allowed to withdraw $300 per week from the grave.

Chestnut apparently figured the tombstone ATM was the best way to make sure his grave had regular visitors.

I'm not sure how I would go about making sure that my grave has regular visitors. I'd probably have to be buried in the middle of a fairway...and please replace your divots....

(Thanks to Dave Trowbridge and Scott Chaffin)
