During their vacation in Egypt, George’s mother-in-law died.....
Taking no chances
During their vacation in Egypt, George’s mother-in-law died.
With death certificates in hand, George went to the American Consulate office to make arrangements to send the body back to the states for a proper burial.
The Consul, after hearing of the death of Georges’s mother-in-law, told him that the sending of a body back to the states for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00.
The Consul continued that in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body in Egypt ONLY. This would only cost $150.00.
George thought for some time and answered, “I don’t care how much it will cost to send the body back; that’s what I want to do.”
The Consul, after hearing this, said, “You must have loved your mother-in-law very much, considering the difference in price.”
“No, it’s not that,” said George. “You see, I know of a case years ago of a person that was buried here in Egypt. On the third day, he rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance.”
A woman goes to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother. The psychic’s eyelids begin to flutter, her voice warbles, her hands float up above the table, and she begins to moan.
Eventually, a coherent voice emanates, saying, “Granddaughter? Are you there?”
The customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat, responds, “Grandmother? Is that you?”
“Yes, granddaughter, it’s me!”
“It’s really, really you, grandmother?” the woman repeats.
“Yes, it’s really me, granddaughter!”
The woman looks puzzled, “You’re sure it’s you, grandmother?”
“Yes, granddaughter, I’m sure it’s me!”
The woman pauses for a moment, “Grandmother, I have just one question for you!”
“Anything, my child!”
“Grandmother, you’re Italian! When did you learn to speak English?”
