In the Urban Legend website of www.snopes.com I have searched in vain for this item:
Someone desperately needs to use a toilet, but he/she is in a business district and the store personnel will not allow a non-employee to use the restroom there. The person is getting desperate, and sees a funeral home; he/she goes in, signing a funeral guest list in order to get to the restroom without further delay. Once the “business” has been done, the subject goes into the visitation area–and sees no one else. A few weeks later he/she gets a call or letter from the decedent’s attorney, who says that the dead person’s will directed that the decedent’s estate be divided among the guests at the funeral. The person seeking the restroom was the only person to show up, and thus collected the entire (considerable!) estate.
None of the categories in the snopes website contained this, and the search engine thereon was of no use.
Have any Dopers found this urban legend there? I’d like to be able to view it online. Thanks very much.
Hey this happened to a FOAF of mine! I swear its true! :rolleyes:

I remember reading about said UL on Snopes, but when I went to look for it, it wasn’t there. The best I can do is say that it used to be. I swear.

Maybe it’s a UL that there is such a UL.
This is making me dizzy.
It’s included in the Paradox Press book THE BIG BOOK OF URBAN LEGENDS.

Sorry it’s not on-line, but it IS in comic-book form!

It’s in one of Jan Harold Brunvand’s books.
I thank the last two posters for their information. I do have the books mentioned, and merely wanted to see this UL online. That’s all. 
Oh you guys are weak

Remember when your dog ate my goldfish, and you lied and said I never had a goldfish? Then why did I have the bowl, Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
Oh shut up.
