wanna take money to the afterlife

There was a man who worked all of
his life and saved all of his money. He
was a real miser when it came to his
money. He loved money more than
just about anything, and just before he
died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my
money and place it in the casket with
me. I wanna take my money to the
afterlife."

So he got his wife to promise him with
all her heart that when he died, she
would put all the money in the casket
with him.

Well, one day he died. He was
stretched out in the casket, the wife
was sitting there in black next to her
closest friend. 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 shoe box with her, she
came over with the box and placed it
in the casket. 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 the casket."

"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a
good Christian, I can't lie. I promised
him that I was going to put that
money in that casket with him."

"You mean to tell me you put every
cent of his money in the casket with
him?"

"I sure did. I got it all together, put it
into my account and I wrote him a
check."
