There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all his money, and 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 with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me." And so got his wife to promise with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting next there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers locked 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 rolled it away. So her friend said, "Girl, I know you were not 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 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."
