There was a man who worked all his life, saved all his money and was a real
Miser 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 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 a minute!" She had
A box with her and
She went and put it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it
Away.
Her friend said, "I know you weren't fool enough to put all that
Money in
There with your husband."
She said, "I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I would
Put that
Money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put all that money in the casket with
him!!!!?"
I sure did" said the wife. "I wrote him a cheque."
