The Smart Woman

On his deathbed, a miserly man told his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me."

Soon after she promised, he died.

At his funeral, his wife put a small box into the casket.

Her friend said, "I knew you aren't such a fool as to put all that money in there with your husband."

But the wife replied, "I didn't go back on my word.

"I got all his money, put it into my account and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
