Having a stingy partner can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it comes to money matters. But in this hilarious story, one widow found a clever way to outsmart her cheapskate husband even after his passing.
The tale begins with a man who was notorious for his obsession with money. He had spent his entire life working hard and saving every penny he could get his hands on. His love for money knew no bounds.
Unfortunately, the man fell gravely ill and was informed by doctors that he didn’t have much time left. Faced with his impending demise, he had a peculiar request for his wife. “When I die,” he said, “I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I want to take it all to the afterlife.”
Shocked by her husband’s unusual demand, the wife reluctantly agreed, knowing that she would be left with a meager existence as a widow. Little did he know that she had a plan up her sleeve.
When the man passed away, his funeral took place at their local church. As his lifeless body laid in the casket, his wife sat beside their closest friend. Just as the undertakers were about to seal the casket, the wife stopped them in their tracks.
With a shoebox in hand, she walked up to the casket and placed it inside. The undertakers then closed the casket and rolled it away. Curious, the friend asked, “What was in that shoebox?”
With a mischievous smile, the widow replied, “He wanted to be buried with all his money, so I put it in there.”
Shocked and amazed, the friend exclaimed, “Are you crazy? You buried that cheapskate with all his fortune?”
Unwavering, the wife responded, “Yes, I made a promise, and as a good Christian, I couldn’t lie to him. I promised to put that money in that casket with him.”
Baffled by the situation, the friend questioned further, “But he was rich! How did you manage to fit all his money inside that shoebox?”
Grinning, the wife revealed her ingenious plan. “Well, that was a problem,” she said. “So, I gathered all the money, deposited it into my account, and wrote him a check…”
And with that twist of fate, the wife had successfully secured her late husband’s fortune for herself, even in the afterlife.
