Ask Blake Picture111

Dear Blake,

Me and my husband are both 85 years old and have one son. We are independently wealthy, but we don’t want to leave our son one penny because he’s irresponsible, reckless, and given us nothing but grief ever since he was a teenager. Do you have any suggestions on what we can do to insure that he doesn’t inherit anything?

Signed, Gwendolyn,

Dear Gwendolyn,

You and your husband have my admiration regarding being financially successful. Keep in mind, there is nothing anywhere carved in stone, that your son has to outlive you. As I understand, there is a variety of odorless tasteless poisons you can obtain on the black market that can easily resolve your current issue. You can also frame him for certain crimes that are so appalling, that once his fellow inmates find out what he was convicted of, they’ll implement their own version of jailhouse justice as the guards happily look the other way. But probably the most entertaining way to finally get rid of your no account son, is to get him drunk, dress him up in a Superman costume, take him to the top of a high building, and then convince him he can fly. There are certain laws in this country, that if you violate them you forfeit your life. One of them is the law of gravity. I hope this helps.

Blake
