There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all ofhis 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 wantyou to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. Iwant 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 into thecasket with him.Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife wassitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting nextto her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before theundertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,"Wait just a moment!"She had a small metal box with her; she came over with thebox and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked thecasket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said,"Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money inthere with your husband."The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I cannot go back on my word. Ipromised him that I was going to put that money into thecasket with him."You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket withhim!?!?!?""I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into myaccount, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then hecan spend it."
