A rich, old, and extremely stingy man was lying on his deathbed.
He had one final concern: making sure his wife followed his last wishes.
He grabbed her hand and said, “I’ve left you half of my fortune in a bank account with your name on it.”
She nodded.
“But I want the other half buried with me,” he continued. “I worked for every penny, and I’m not leaving anybody anything. I’m taking it all with me!”
His wife didn’t argue.
She simply smiled and said, “Of course, dear.”
At the funeral, just before they closed the casket, she placed a small envelope inside.
Her friend whispered, “Wait… did you really put all that money in there?”
The wife smiled proudly.
“Of course. I’m an honest Christian woman.”
“I wrote him a check.”
Her friend stared at her.
The wife shrugged.
“He can cash it whenever he’s ready.”
