IRISH FUNERAL


Paddy died.

His will provided £40,000 for an elaborate funeral.
As the last guest left,
His wife Colleen turned to her oldest and dearest friend.
"Ah well, Paddy would be pleased," she said.

"You're right," replied Mary,

"So go on, how much did this really cost?'"

"All of it," said Colleen. "Forty thousand."


"Aw No!" Mary exclaimed, "I mean, it was very grand, but £40,000?!!!"

Colleen answered, "The funeral was £6,500.
I donated £500 to church.
The whisky, wine and snacks were another £500.

The rest went for the Memorial Stone."

Mary computed quickly.
"For the love of God Colleen, £32,500 for a Memorial Stone?
How big is it?"
