Obedient Wife
There was a man who had worked all of 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 after life 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 in the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband." The loyal wife replied,"Listen, I'm a Christian . I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that 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 and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
Not only is she obedient, she's intelligent as well.
Mmm hmm. Another man bashing thread.
:^)
Right on.
Jesus said that we must be as wise as a fox and as gentle as a lamb. She got both right.
LOL
Thass OK. I can take it and I can dish it out.
The "Obedient Husband" version of the joke would have Teresa Heinz Kerry in the casket and Gigolo John writing the check....
I kid...
There is this guy on his deathbed. The preacher has been there. All of his family has said their good byes the will is finalized and everyone is just awaiting the inevitable.
This fellow begins to smell a wonderful aroma. His wife is baking his favorite cookies. He struggles to his feet and begins to, slowly and painfully at first, follow the aroma. Down the hall, Down the stairs, into the kitchen and there on the counter is a platter of his favorite cookies cooling on the counter.
He takes a bite of one and it tastes like heaven; it's the first food he has been able to eat for days. He eats another cookie and another gaining strength with each bite.
He is almost fully recovered when he picks up the last cookie -- the cookies have saved his life and given him reason to live it -- when he hears the shrill voice of his wife, "HENRY! Shame on you! THOSE ARE FOR THE FUNERAL!"
LOL
Must be a Lifetime Network joke.
But I like it more and more every time I read it. :)
she is my kind of gal! smart as a whip!
Did you hear about the guy that didn't speak a word to his wife for 12 years?
He didn't want to interrupt her.
