The Obedient Wife

[The Dude]

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"

"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."
