There was a man who had worked all of his life and had saved all of his money.

He
was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about
anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want
you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money
to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put
all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in
black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!" she had a
shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away.
Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
She said, "Yes, I promised. I'm a good christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was
going to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did, " said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote
him a check."

Ol' Fred had been a religious man who was in the hospital, near death. The family
called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol'
Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to
write on.

The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last
bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought it best not to look
at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realised that he was wearing the
same jacket that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died.
He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at
it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all."
He opened the note, and read out loud, "Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube?"
