There was a man who had worked all of his life and had
saved all of his money. He 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 place it in
the casket with me.
I wanna take my money to the afterlife."
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 wife was sitting there in black next to her closest
friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said
"Wait just a minute!" 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 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 can't lie. I promised him that I
was going 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 to him a check
