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 75. His wife
had a closed casket at the wake. 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 you know men won't ask for directions . . . '
