Another old (but excellent) one... every time one like this hits my
Inbox, I go into a deep funk: should I forward (some people might not
have seen it at all, some may have sclerotic memory like mine and enjoy
the umpteen's showing of the same-old)...
So, do I forward, or do I trash? It all depends on my (also rapidly
aging <g>) judgement which, in turn, depends on my mood of the
moment... :)
Begin forwarded message:
From: M.W.
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 and 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, "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 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!!!!?"
exclaimed the friend.
"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."
