A Joke

A long-suffering married Jewish couple were on a vacation to Israel. While they were in Jerusalem, the husband had a heart attack and died. A mortician explained to the widow her options: She could have her husband buried in Israel for $1,000 or she can ship the body home for $8,000.

She thought about it for a second and said: "Ship him."

"But why would you spend $7,000 to ship him home," the mortician wanted to know. "So many Jews would relish the opportunity to be buried in Israel, why deny your husband that honor?"

The widow replied: "Well, a long time ago, they buried a guy here and three days later, he rose from the dead. I'm not about to take that chance."
