The Memorial Stone
A woman's husband dies. He had $30,000 to his name.
After everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery, she tells her
closest friend that there is none of the $30,000 left. The friend says,
"How can that be?
The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course I made
a donation to the church. That was $500, and I spent another $500 for
the wake, food and drinks, you know. The rest went for the memorial stone."
The friend says, "$22,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big is it?"
The widow says, "Three carats."
