The Obediant Wife

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved
all of his 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 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 into the casket with him. Well, he died.


He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next
to her. When theyfinished the ceremony, and just
before the undertakers 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 the box and put it in
the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket
down and they folled it away.

So her friend said, "Girl, I know your were not fool enough
to put all that mony in there with your husband."


The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm Christian; I cannot
go back on my word. I promised him that I was going
to put the money into the 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 check...If he can
cash it, then he can spend it."
