There once was a man who worked hard all of his life, saved all his money and was both a millionaire and a miser. He loved his money more than just about anything. <br /><br />One day, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me because I want to take my money into the afterlife." He forced her to promise with all her heart that she'd obey his wish and put all their money in the casket with him. He even added this to his will.<br /><br />Well, soon after he died. <br /><br />His wife sat in the church during the funeral next to her best friend. <br /><br />When the ceremony was finished and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the widow said, "Wait just a minute, I have to do this!" and she placed a small box in her husband's lifeless hands. The undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away. <br /><br />The woman's friend said, "I know you weren't fool enough to put all your money in there with your husband, you would be pennyless!" <br /><br />The widow replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian. I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I would put all our money in that casket with him and that's what I did." <br /><br />"You mean to tell me you put all of your money in that casket?!!" <br /><br />"I sure did," said the widow. <br /><br />"How'd you fit it all in that little box?", asked her friend. <br /><br />"I wrote him a check." <br /><br />Never Underestimate The Cunning of a Woman. <br /><br />
