A miser was on his death bed. He told his wife to put all his money in a box and bury it with him. She promised him she would.
Soon after that he died. At the funeral her friend asked her if she had done as she had promised. She said yes she had and her friend looked very shocked. She smiled and said,
"I deposited all the money in the bank, wrote him a cheque and put it in the box. If he can cash the cheque, he can have the money!"
