The Loyal Wife

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money,
and was a real misery 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.


Her friend said, "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 cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it."

I love it when people are smart. :)
