Festive goodwill…………………
21-12-09
I was just sent this joke by text (I get numerous ones every day) from a friend, and it seems particularly festive. It goes:
A couple are on holiday in Jerusalem and the man’s wife suddenly dies.
The husband consults the local undertaker who advises that the options are either to ship the cadaver back home at a cost of £5000 or to bury the wife in Jerusalem, at a cost of £1000.
The husband says, ship her home.
But why, the undertaker exclaims, when your beloved can be buried in the most holy place in Christendom?
Well, says the man, I understand a couple of thousand years ago a certain man was buried here and three days later he rose from his grave – quite frankly I cannot take the risk!
OK, I think it is funny!
