In Memoriam

A woman's husband dies. He had $30,000 to his name. After everything is
done at the funeral home and cemetery, she tells her closest friend that
there is none of the $30,000 left.

The friend says, "How can that be?"

The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course I made
a donation to the church. That was $500, and I spent another $500 for
the wake, food and drinks, you know. . The rest went for the memorial
stone."

The friend says, "$22,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big is
it?"

The widow says, "Three carats."
