There was a man who had worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He loved money more than just about anything. Shortly before he died, he had his wife promise that, when he died, she'd take all his money and place it in the casket with him.
Soon after that, he died. He was stretched out in the casket and his wife was sitting in the front row of the church. At the end of the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!" She went over to the casket and placed a shoebox inside. Then, the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away.
Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in there with that stingy old man."
She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good, honest person, and I promised him that I would put his money in the casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."
