There was a man who had worked all his life, saved
all of his money, and was a real miser. One day 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 his wife promised him, with all of her heart, that when he
died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
A few months later, the man died. He was stretched out in the
casket, his wife sitting near him all dressed in
black, with her closest girlfriend sitting beside her. When
they finished the service and just before the undertakers got
ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a
moment!"
She came over with a small metal box and
put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket lid
down and they rolled it away.
"I know you were not foolish enough to put all that
money in there with your husband." her friend said.
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!"
her friend exclaimed.
"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."

There are only two things in life we can be sure of.... death and taxes. Unfortunately, they don't come in that order.*jib*
