July 10, 2015He worked hard every day of his life, which left him feeling entitled to the money he had earned. He felt no desire to give it away. He wanted to keep it to himself. Guided by that line of thinking, when it came time for him to ask a dying wish, he asked his wife to bury him with the remainder of his money. She wasn’t into the idea of granting him his miserly wish, so she came up with another brilliant idea. “There was a man who had worked all of his life and has saved all of his money,” his widow wrote. “He was a real cheapskate when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, ‘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 after life.’ She promised him that she would bury him with all his money in the casket with him. And then he died. As the ceremony was coming to a close, the undertakers began to close his casket. Before they could his wife yelled out “Wait a minute!” She had a shoebox with her, which she placed in his casket. The undertakers locked the casket and rolled it away. Her friend said to her, ‘I hope you weren’t crazy enough to put all that money in there with that stingy old man.’She said, ‘Yes, I promised. I’m a good Christian, I can’t lie. I promised him that I was to put that money in that casket with him.’‘You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?’‘I sure did,’ said the widow. ‘I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check.’Clever!
