Ted writes out a will leaving all his property to his wife. He phones his friends Al and Bill to come over and witness the will. While he is waiting for them to arrive, he signs his will. When Al and Bill arrive he shows them the will and says “You see I’ve signed it at the bottom.” Al signs his own name and then leaves. While Ted is out of the room saying goodbye to Al, Bill signs the will. When Ted comes back in Bill says “Look, here’s my signature.”
