There was a man who had worked hard all of his life and
has saved every penny he earned. He was a real cheapskate
when it came to his money. In fact, he loved money more
than just about anything. One day he said to his wife:
"When I die I want you to take all my money and place it
in the casket with me because I want to take it all to the after life."
So his wife reluctantly promised him when he died she would
put all the money in his casket.
The man soon died and was stretched out in the casket. When
they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got
ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait a minute!"
She went over to the casket with a shoebox and placed it in the
casket with her husband. Then the undertakers locked the casket
and rolled it away.
Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that
money in there with that stingy old man."
The wife said, "Yes, I promised him I would put the money in the
casket with him. I got it all together, put it into my account and
I wrote him a check."
