There was a man, who had
worked all his life, had saved all
of his money, & 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 into the casket with him.
Well, he died. L
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,
"Wait just a moment!"
She had a small metal 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 were not
foolish enough to put all that
money in there with your
husband."
The loyal wife replied,
"Listen, I'm a Christian;
I cannot go back on my word.
I promised him that I was
going to put that money into
the 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,
then he can spend it."
