The Loyal Wife

[jones jones]

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his

money and was a real miser.

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 after life 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 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.

Her friend said, 'I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money

in there with your husband.'

The loyal wife replied 'Listen, 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 cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it.'
