There was a man who had worked all of 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 after life with me."
and so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when
he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with
him.
Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there in black, and 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, shecame over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.
So, her friend said, "girl, i know you weren't fool enough
to put all that money in there with your husband."
the loyal wife replied," listen,
i'm a christian, i can't 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 check. If he can cash it, he can
spend it."
