There was a man who worked all his life and saved all his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than anything. 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.
One day, he died. He was stretched out in the casket; the wife was sitting there in black, next to her closed friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said: “wait a minute! I have a shoe box with me," and came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked he casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all the money in the casket?”
“Yes,” the wife said, “I promised, I am a good Christian, I can’t lie. I promised him I was going to put that money in the casket with him.” “You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?” “I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a CHEQUE. ”
