An elaborate funeral.

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

An elaborate funeral.

An elaborate funeral





Bill's will specified that $30,000 was to be spent for an elaborate
funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Jan, turned
to her oldest friend. "Well, I'm sure Bill would be pleased," she said.

"I'm sure you're right," replied Sue, who lowered her voice and leaned
in close. "How much did this really cost?"

All of it," said Jan. "Thirty thousand."

No!" Sue exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"

Jan answered. "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church.
The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went for the
memorial stone."

Sue computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial stone? My God, how big
is it?"

"Two and a half carats."
