A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they
were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, “You can
have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy
Land, for $150.” The man thought about it and told him he would just have
her shipped home.
The undertaker asked, “Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home,
when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only
$150?”
The man replied, “Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days
later he rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance.”
