There was a man who had worked all his life and had saved all 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'm a good Christian, 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 him a check."
