Obedient Wife

[defjeff]

There was a man who had worked all of 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 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 just a minute!"

She had a 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 weren't fool enough to put

all that money in there with your husband."

The loyal wife replied," Listen, I'm a Christian; I can't go back

on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in

that casket with him."

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into

my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend

it."
