Huck Finn, a truly perceptive gentleman from the midwest, sent this
one on marriage...

An old man and woman were married for many years, even though
they hated each other. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling
could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, "When
I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and
haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced magic because of
the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood.
The old man liked the fact that he was feared. To everyone's relief,
he died of a heart attack when he was 98.

His wife had a closed casket at the funeral. After the burial, she went
straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.

Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked "Aren't you afraid that
he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you
for the rest of your life?"

The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him dig. I had him buried
upside down, and I know he'll never ask for directions."
