They say laughter is one of the best things for your health. So, I wanted to start the week of on IDT with a joke a client shared with me last week.
Just before he died, he said to his beautiful Norwegian 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, (whatelse), 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'm a Norwegian Lutheran & I cannot go
back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in
the casket with him.."
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."
Enjoy your week, and I hope this put a smile on your face!
