Who is smarter?

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his
money, and was a real "miser" when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife..."When I die, I want you
to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to
take my money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that
when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with
him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was
sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next
to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,

"Wait just a moment!"
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and
put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down
and they rolled it away. So her friend said,

"Girl, I know you u were not fool enough to put all that money in
there with your husband."

The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back
on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into
the casket with him."

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into
my account, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he
can spend it."
