The Obedient Lebanese Wife!
There was a Lebanese immigrant man who had worked all 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 into the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there -
dressed in black, (what else), and her best friend was sitting next to her. When
they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertaker got ready to close
the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a moment!"
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in
the casket. Then the undertaker locked the casket down and they rolled it away.
So her friend said,
"Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with
your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen I cannot go back on my word. I promised
him that I was going to put that money in the casket with him."Ya
dahwitie"
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with
him!?!?!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put
it into my account, I wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can
spend it." Wallow !
