Tasty Tuesday

Today is Tasty Tuesday as declared by Lazy Daisy! Tasty Tuesday is to focus on something non- food related to savor or relish. Something to concentrate on, mull over, treasure, sip, or linger longer over a tasty morsel, be it Brain food, or Soul food . In otherwords, Food For The Soul!

There was a man who had worked all of 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 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 in the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait just a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.

So, her friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband?”

The loyal wife replied,” Listen, I’m a Christian, I can’t go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.”

“You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?” exclaimed the friend.

“Sure did,” said the wife. “I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it.”

Although this is quite funny, it does have a message to it also. You can’t take it with you, enjoy life while you are here and with those you love. Happy Tuesday!

Amen Sista! That’s a great story.

Although I’ve visited and commented before, I just found your name on Dew on the Kudzu and though I’d stop by and say Hi again.
