George and Harriet scrapped like cats and dogs, all through their married life, but somehow, they stuck it out and reached their 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, they decided to visit Jerusalem. Things went along as usual (snipe, snipe, grumble, grumble) until about their third day there, when Harriet suddenly died!
After embalming her, the undertaker informed George that he had a decision to make. "For $15,000 we can fly your wife back to the States for burial, or for only $300 she can be buried here, in the Holy Land."
After only a moment's thought, George announced that he was shipping Harriet home to the family plot. The undertaker asked why, and George answered, "Well, I've heard that years ago, there was a guy who died and was buried around here, and three days later, came back to life. And, well, to be honest...
...I just can't take that chance!"
