Obedient Wife
There was a man who had worked all of 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 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 cask! et,
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.
So her friend said, \"Girl, 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 b! ack 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 check. If he can cash it, he can spend it.\"
