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,

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 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 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 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 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!"
