I suffered a severe blow to my head - very strong. Fortunately, it did not cause serious injury, but I have three broken ribs, a compound fracture in my left leg, and they may have to amputate the right foot. And now I am also on dialysis, and fading in and out of consciousness.”

Wife’s Response: “Who’s Cindy?

A group of good friends are consoling one of their own who lost a husband after many years of marriage. The subject of funeral costs came up and the widow was explaining to her friends that funerals are down right expensive. Really they said well how expensive ? The widow goes on to explain that she spent over 40 thousand for her husbands funeral. They all gasped why so expensive they asked. The widow said let me see there was 8 thousand for the casket and one day wake and 500 for opening and closing the grave. 500 for embalming and another 1000 for the funeral luncheon and oh 30,000 for the memorial stone. 30,000 FOR THE MEMORIAL STONE they all shouted. Well just how big was the memorial stone they inquired. Let me see said the widow about 5 carats she said waving her hand wildly.
