The Stingy Husband
There was a man who had worked all of his life
and had saved all of his
money. He was a real miser when it came to his
money. He loved money more
than just about anything, and just before he
died, he said to his wife, "Now
listen, when I die I want you to take all my
money and place it in the
casket with me. Because I wanna take my money to
the after life."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her
heart that when he died, she
would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was
sitting there in black next
to her closest friend. 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 shoebox with her, she came
over with the box and placed
it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the
casket down 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. I'm a good
Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was
going to put that money in that casket with him."
Her friend asked, "You mean to tell me you put
every cent of his money in
the casket with him?" "I sure did," said the
wife. "I got it all together,
put it into my account and I wrote him a check."
Have a good week, make someone smile!
