OT - The Estate (Joke)

A woman's husband dies. He had $20,000 to his name. After everything is done at the funeral home and cemetery, she tells her closest friend that there is no money left.

The friend says, "How can that be? You told me he had $20,000 a few days before he died. How could you be broke?"

The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course, I had to make the obligatory donation for the church and the organist and all. 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, "$12,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big was it?"

The widow says, "Three carats."

~guffaw!~ I was just thinking that a few $100 on a killer CZ in a great setting and then.........sewing gizmos, stash, fancy work table, some stash, books I've drooled over, some more stash, going to sewing shows and getting more stash, having long lunches while shopping for more stash, contacting the contractor for the new state of the art Memorial Sewing Room to hold more stash. If I worked on it I could probably spend that $12,500 by the end of the month and wallow in a plethora STAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHH!!! Man, I gotta start dating again. If any of you gals know any really OLD, filthy rich, sterile, orphans in poor health I'll give you a finder's fee or a generous gift certificate for stash!!

I think we think alike. When DH died, his insurance had dropped to $10,000. I'd planned to split it among his 4 young'uns, but followed someone's insistence and kept 1/5 for myself--for a Janome SM.
