There was a man who had worked all of his life and has saved all of his money.
He was a real cheapskate when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife:
"Now
listen, when I die I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket
with me. Because I want to take all my money to the after life."
So
he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died she would
put all the money in the casket with him. When one day he died.
He
was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to
their best friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers
got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait a minute!" (more after the cut)
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it
in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away.
Her
friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in
there with that stingy old man."
She
said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him
that I was to put that money in that casket with him."
"You
mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I
sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my
account and I wrote him a check."
