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. 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."

hahah, kept the promise and got to keep the money. Ingenous!

I heard a similar version where the dying man gave $30,000 each to his priest, doctor, and lawyer.

After he died, they ach showed up and put three boxes into his casket. The priest admitted that he took $10,000 to help rebuild the church. The doctor took $15,000 for some new equipment.

The lawyer turns to them both and says "I'm ashamed of you two! I, for one, filled out a check for the FULL amount..."

Nice. Well hey, then they both win, right? As long as Royal Bank has a branch in heaven.

clever, though the guy is kinda a douche for asking to be buried wit his $$
