The Obedient Wife

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
afterlife 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, she came 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."
