I was goofin’ around with my Dad one day and held a measuring tape up to him as if I was measuring him top to bottom, side to side.
He asked me what I was doing...so I told him I was seeing how much room he’d take up in the freezer; I wasn’t going to let his SS checks stop coming even after he was gone, LOL!
Yeah, we’re a weird combo, me and my Dad!
Come to find out a while later, some local guy really DID do this when his Mother died and got away with it for a number of years! *GASP*
Great Movie. True story.

Bernie stuffed the old lady in the freezer. Continued to spend her money.
I knew a family that used to joke about it. The grandfather owned a multinational trading co. His three children inherited it, the two sons ran it. My friend’s elderly mom was the daughter so she would just get her piece in a multi million dollar check each year. The kids were definitely planning a Weekend at Bernie’s to keep those checks coming in!
