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