Elaborate Funeral
Jim had a will that provided $ 30,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Mary Ann, turned to her sister, Shelly, and said: "Well, I'm sure Jim would be pleased." "I'm sure you're right," replied Shelly, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How much did this really cost?" "All of it," said Mary Ann. "Thirty thousand." "No!" Shelly exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?" Mary Ann answered. "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went for the memorial stone." Shelly computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial stone? My God, how big is it?!" "Two and a half carats."
