“Whosoever trusts in God, is happy.” Proverbs 16:20
There once was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all his
money and was a real miser. He loved money more than just about anything.
One day, he said to his wife, “When I die, I want you to take all my money
and put it in the casket with me, because I want to take my money into the
afterlife.”
He forced her to promise with all her heart that she’d obey his wish and
put all their money in the casket with him.
Well, soon after he died.
His wife sat in the church during the funeral next to her best friend.
When the ceremony was finished, just before the undertakers got ready to
close the casket, the widow said, “Wait just a minute!” and she placed a
small box she had with her in her husband’s lifeless hands.
The undertakers then locked the casket and rolled it away.
The woman’s friend said, “I know you weren’t fool enough to put all your
money in there with your husband!”
The widow replied, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I
promised him that I was going to put our money in that casket with him and
that’s what I did.”
“You mean to tell me you put all of your money in that casket?!!”
“I sure did,” said the widow.
“How’d you fit it all in that little box?” asked her friend.
“I wrote him a check.”
The crowded cafeteria sported a large sign reading: "Watch Your Hat and Overcoat."
Meyer did. He kept turning every minute, almost choking over his food. His pal, Moshe, kept on eating, without thought of his own coat on the hook.
Finally Moshe said, "You dope... stop watching our overcoats."
"I'm only watching mine," replied Meyer. "Yours has been gone for over half an hour."
