The Obedient Wife

There was a man who had worked all 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
 into the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife
was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was
sitting next to her.
When they finished the ceremony, and just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,
'Wait just a moment!'
 She had a small metal 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 were not foolish
 enough to put all that money in there with your
 husband.'
The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I
 cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going
 to put that money into the 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, then he can spend it.'
