Larry died. His will provided $40,000 for an elaborate
funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Sarah
turned to her oldest and dearest friend. "Well, I'm sure Larry
would be pleased," she said.
"I'm sure you're right," replied Jody, who lowered her voice
and leaned in close. "How much did this really cost?"
"All of it," said Sarah. "Forty-thousand."
"No!" Jody exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $40,000?"
Sarah answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to
church.
The whiskey, wine and snacks were another $500. The rest went for
the Memorial Stone."
Jody computed quickly. "$32,500 for a Memorial Stone? My God,
how big is it?"
"Four and a half carats."
