Never try to outsmart a woman.

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.

Her friend said, " 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 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 cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
