Man leaves fortune to wife under the condition that she remarries.
CNN has an article on strange wills, talking about how Leona Hemsley left all kinds of money to her dog, but cut out her grandchildren.

The best will mentioned was this one:

7. Heinrich Heine

The German poet left his entire fortune to his wife, but with one catch: she had to remarry "because then there will be at least one man to regret my death."

For the record, when I kick off, I hope my wife picks up guys at the funeral, should any come, not for the same reason as Heine, but because someone as wonderful as she should never be alone.

1. I need to pinch you to see if you're real. What a nice compliment to your wife.

2. That's nice of you to say. My wife's only fault, however, in my opinion is that she didn't marry
very well.
