The Obedient Wife
The Obedient Wife
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 thatmoney in there
with your husband." The loyal wife
replied
"Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word.
I promised him that I was going to put that money in
that 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, he can spend it."
