The Obedient Italian Wife!

The Obedient Italian Wife!

There was an Italian immigrant man who had worked all 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 Italian 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 afterlife 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 into the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting

there - dressed in black, (what else), and her best friend was sitting

next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the

undertaker got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a

moment!"

She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it

in the casket. Then the undertaker locked the casket down and they rolled

it away. So her friend said,

"Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with

your husband."

The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm an Italian Catholic & I cannot go

back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in the 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, I wrote him a check....

"If he can cash it, then he can spend it."
