There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of hismoney. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved moneymore than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to hiswife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money andplace it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to theafterlife."
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.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wifewas sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When theyfinished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to closethe casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" she had a shoe box withher, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away.
Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good christian, I can't lie. Ipromised him that I was going to put that money in that casket withhim."
"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."
