    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, '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 afterlife 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.'

    Sam died. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Sarah turned to her oldest and dearest friend. "Well, I'm sure Sam would be pleased," she said.

    "I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How much did this really cost?"

    "All of it," said Sarah "Thirty thousand."

    "No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"

    Sarah answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church.

    The whisky, wine and snacks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone."

    Jody computed quickly. "$22,500 for a Memorial Stone? My God, how big is it?"
