There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife: "When I die. I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me." His wife promised that when he died, she would put all his money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket his wife was sitting there in black, her friend was sitting next to her.
When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!" She had a box with her she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and the rolled it away.
So her friend said, "You didnt seriously put his money in the casket, did you?" The loyal wife replied, "I couldnt go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." "You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!? "I sure did" said the wife.
"I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it." |
