Aug. 4th, 2003 04:06 pmMy Dad told me this joke.
A recent widow runs into an acquaintance at the grocery store. The acquaintace says "Oh Madge, I was so sorry to hear about Joe. You look remarkably well."
Madge: "Oh, thanks for your kind words. You know, I did get an insurance settlement that helped a good bit. $60,000."
Friend: "Well, that's something! Perhaps you can use some of it to take a trip or something, get your mind off things."
Madge: "Oh, I would, but after the funeral and such there's not a penny left."
The friend looks aghast.
Madge goes on to explain, "well, the funeral was $5,000, and we had a catered lunch afterwards that ran about $2,000. I also wanted to pay the organist and our pastor and some other people who helped with the service, and that was another few thousand. The rest went for a memorial stone."
Friend: "A $50,000 memorial stone!? It must be quite a monument!"
Madge: "Yes, well, about 4 carats."
