Taking it with You!!!

There was a man who had worked all
of his life and had saved all of his money
and 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 put it in the casket with me.

Because I wanna 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 one day he died.
He was stretched out in the casket,
the 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 a fool
enough to put all that money
in there with that man."

She said,
"Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't lie.
I promised him that I was gonna
put that money in that casket with him."

"You mean to tell me you put that money
in the casket with the man?"
