Buried with his money

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his
money. However, he was a real miser when it came to HIS money.

He told 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.

As happens to all of us sooner or later, 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 the ceremony had reached it conclusion and 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.

In disbelief 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 can't go back on my word. I promised
him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him and
that is exactly what I did."

"You mean to tell me,” said her friend, “that 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.”
