    Funeral
    Expense 
     
     Fred died. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate
    funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Helen, turned to her
    oldest friend."Well, I'm sure Fred would be pleased," she
    said.
    "I'm sure
    you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How
    much did this really cost ?" 
    "All of it," said Helen. "Thirty
    thousand."
    "No!"
    Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $ 30,000?"
    Helen answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500
    to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went  for
    the memorial stone."
    Jody
    computed quickly. "$22,500 for a memorial stone? My God, how big is
    it?!"
    "Two and a half carats."

    I think I'd be willing to buy a big memorial stone too if Cahuna passes away first.  I'll let him know:P

  • I like to pass on helpful advice when I get it....

    from my SIL

    If
    ?you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would ?now be worth
    $49.00.
    ?
    ?With Enron, you would have ?had $16.50 left of the original
    $1000.00.
    ?
    ?With ?WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00
    ?left.
    ?
    ?If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air ?Lines stock you would
    have $49.00 left.
    ?
    ?But, if ?you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of
    beer/wine
    ?    one
    year ?ago, drank all the beer/wine, then turned in the
    ?cans/bottles
    ?    for
    the ?aluminium recycling REFUND, you would have had ?$214.00.
    ?
    ?Based on
    the above, the best current ?investment advice is to Drink heavily and
    ?recycle.

    I'm not sure what's with all the  question marks

    Anyway, I thought that might be helpful.  You're welcome:)

    Back to work I go
