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.”
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. 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 fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband.”
The loyal wife replied, “Listen, I love him very much; I wish to fulfil
my husband’s last wish”. 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!?!?!?”
“Sure I did,” said the wife. “I got it all together, put it into my
account, and wrote him a check…. If he can cash it, then he can spend
it.”
