It can be pretty annoying to have a stingy partner. Naturally, people are
free to spend their money as they want, but things are a little bit different
when you’re in a relationship.
In that situation, you have to compromise and adapt to each other. This is
one such story!
I don’t know if this story is true or not. It might be completely
fictional, but I thought it was hilarious and I just have to admire the widow’s
smarts.
I came across this story earlier today and I just had to share it with you,
because the punchline is absolutely brilliant. As the old saying goes – shared
joy is double joy!
There was a man who had worked all of his life and has saved all of his
money.
He was a real cheapskate when it came to his money. He loved money more
than just about anything.
One day, the man fell ill. He was told by the doctors that he didn’t have
long to live.
After finding out, the first thing he told his wife was, “Now listen, when
I die I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me.
Because I want to take all my money to the afterlife.”
“I promise”, said his wife, who would now face a very poor life as a widow.
“Are you crazy?!”
A short time later, the husband passed away. The funeral took place at
their local church.
He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black
next to their best friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!”
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in
the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away.
Her friend said, “What was that shoe box?”
The widow replied, “He wanted to be buried with all his money, so I put it
in there.”
“Are you crazy?! You buried that cheapskate with all of his fortune?”
She said, “Yes, I promised. I’m a good Christian, I can’t lie. I promised
him that I would put that money in that casket with him.”
“But he was rich, how did it all manage to fit inside that shoe box?”
“Well, that was a problem,” said the wife. “So I got it all together, put
it into my account and I wrote him a check….”
Do your friends a service and press share to give them their
daily dose of laughter!
