A man and his nagging wife went to the Holy land for a pilgrimage. When they arrived his wife suddenly died. The man went to the funeral home trying to find out how much it would cost to send the corpse back home. He was told “ To bury the corpse here in Jerusalem it would cost 50 dollars. To send the corpse to the States it would cost 50.000 dollars.” The man immediately opted to bury his wife in the States. The funeral official curiously asked him why he chose to spend so much money to take the corpse to the States. The man replied
“ The last time they buried a man here he woke up after three days, I am sending her to the States to make sure that does not happen!”
