Thursday Special Jerusalem

A man from New York and his ever-nagging wife went on holiday to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker was called and he 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 the undertaker 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…

    It was always the day I liked least in the week.

    You should get yourself some batteries so you’ll keep going for ever like the Duracell Bunny! :D
