It’s a wife’s job to listen to her 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 of my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife.” 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 actually died. At the funeral parlor, he was stretched out in his casket, and his wife was sitting there, dressed all in black, next to her closest friend. When the ceremony was finished, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said “Wait just a minute!”
She had a small shoebox with her. She approached her husband’s casket and gently placed the shoebox into the casket with him. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away.
The widow’s friend said, “I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all that money in there.” To which the widow replied, “Yes, I promised. I’m a good Christian, and I can’t lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.”
“You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with the old skinflint?”
“I sure did,” said the widow. “I got it all together, put it into my checking account, and wrote him a check.”
