The Obedient Wife :
There was a man, who worked hard and earned and saved a lot of money. He was a real miser when it comes to money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to put all the money in the casket along with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me. "
And so he got his wife promise him, with all of her heart.
Soon he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife sitting there, in a black dress, her friend is sitting next to her.
When they finished the ceremony and when the undertakers were about to close the casket, the obedient wife said, "Just a moment."
She had a small metal box in her hands, she came over with the box aand kept it in the casket, then the undertakers locked and rolled away the casket.
Then the friend said,
"Girl you are not that foolish to keep all the money into that casket, right?"
The loyal wife replied
"Listen, I am a wife, I can't go back on my word, I promised him."
"You mean to say , you kept all the money in that casket?!?!"
"I sure did," said the loyal wife,
"I got all the money together, put in my bank account and wrote him a cheque; I kept that in the casket along with him, now it's up to him to encash the cheque.
If he can cash it, he can spend it."

It was a small village. And in it, was a small bakery. The baker would buy 1 Kg of butter for his bakery from a certain milkman periodically.
One day, the baker grew suspicious about the weight of the butter. He weighed it and found it to be just 900 g. He was furious but thought of giving the milkman a couple more chances. And he was proved right the next two times too. His anger got the better of him and he handed over the milkman to the police.
The milkman was produced to the court the next day.
Judge: Don't you have a weighing balance at your house?
Milkman: I do. But I don't have weights for it.
Judge: Then how were you weighing the butter all these days?
Milkman: Your honor, I own only a couple of buffaloes. And their yield is also not substantial. That's why I don't have weights for the scale. I buy bread from this baker itself. He claims that one packet of his bread weighs 500 g. So I keep 2 packets of bread in the weighing scale and weigh my butter.
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich bird behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke,' and turns to the ostrich, 'What's yours?'
'I'll have the same,' says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke'
The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same'
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This becomes routine until the two enter again.
'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the man.
'Same,' says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.'
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?"
Says the man, "Well, several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. The first wish I asked was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."
The waitress said "That's brilliant! Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live. How smart of you!''
"That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact amount of money is always there" says the man proudly.
The waitress asks, "But, what's that ostrich all about?"
The man sighs, pauses and answers with a heavy heart, "My second wish was for a tall chick with long legs who accompanies me wherever I go and agrees with everything I say".
MORAL OF THE STORY: Men's brains work brilliant until they start thinking about a woman!!
