An elderly couple

[Big N' Blue]

An elderly couple was married for many years ...


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. 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, 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 said,

"Let him dig. I had him buried upside down, and I know he won't ask
for directions."
