The man was so wealthy he could afford to be buried with a 300-pound (Troy weight) slab of gold cradled in his arms.
His spirit rose to the Pearly Gates and the man stood before St. Peter. Peter asked, "Why do you think you should be allowed into Heaven?" The tycoon offered him the slab of solid, glimmering, precious metal. Peter look one look at it and uttered a single word... "Pavement?"
One man's last request was to be buried with a slab of solid gold.
