There was a man who had worked all his life, 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.” 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, 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, came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, “Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.” The loyal wife replied, “Listen, I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in the casket with him.” “You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?” “I sure did.” said the wife, “I put all the money into my account and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it.
