Can't take it with you??

[IceWizard]

There was a man who had worked all of his
life and has saved all of his money. He was
a real cheapskate 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. Because I want to take all my money to the after life!"

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.

One day he died. He was stretched out in the
casket, the wife was sitting there in black
next to their best friend.

When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait a minute!"

She had a shoebox with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket 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 and I'm a very honest person, I cant lie. I promised him that I was 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", said the wife. "I got it all together,
put it into my account and I wrote him a
check!"
