You Really Can't Take It To The Grave With You...

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of hismoney, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before hedied, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my moneyand put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to theafterlife with me."And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when hedied, 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 casket, the wifesaid, "Wait just a minute!"She had a box with her; she came over with the box and put it in thecasket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled itaway.Her friend said, "I know you weren't fool enough to put all that moneyin there with your husband."The loyal wife replied "Listen, I'm a Christian; I can't go back on myword. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that Casketwith 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 myaccount and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
