He died and he actually was buried with ALL of his money. At the funeral people were at a loss for what to say to his widow and his children. Especially because the widow had a huge smile on her face.



Finally someone asked her, "We about your husband's direction that he be buried with all of his money. We understand that you couldn't get out of it and actually did it but we see you smiling. How can you be so happy?'


She replied, "I put a check in his suit pocket for the full amount."
A perfect example of the term 'win-win'...
