An old man and his wife had been married for decades, but their relationship was far from peaceful.
Every single time they got into an argument, the husband would dramatically shake his fist and yell, “Mark my words! When I die, I’m going to dig my way straight out of my grave and haunt you for the rest of your miserable life!”
Eventually, the old man passed away from natural causes.
At the wake, a concerned next-door neighbor leaned over to the widow and whispered, “Aren’t you absolutely terrified that he’ll actually keep his promise, claw his way out of the earth, and haunt you?”
The widow smiled serenely, took a sip of her tea, and shook her head.
“Let him dig,” she replied calmly. “I had the undertaker bury him upside down… and I know for a fact he’s too stubborn to stop and ask for directions.”
