One part in three goes to my infant grand-daughter, who barely knows me and therefore has not disappointed me yet;
One part in four goes to Fido, my best friend, so that he may live out his declining dog years in the manner to which he has become accustomed;
One part in nine goes to my lawyer, for reasons best unexplained;
one part in thirteen goes to my dear, dear wife (see above);
one part in seventy-seven goes to my long-suffering daughter;
one part in one hundred and forty-eight goes to Vivienne, my very personal secretary, for learning how to type;
One part in one hundred and eighty goes to Dr. Viagra, for invaluable bio-technical assistance;
One part in five hundred and forty-six goes to my lazy, incompetent business partner;
One part in six hundred and sixty-six goes towards the upkeep of my parrot;
and the remaining dollar goes to purchase, for my worthless son-in law, the gambler, a single lottery ticket."
