"Expensive Funeral"

Bob died. His will provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife, Helen, turned to her oldest friend. "Well, I am
sure Bob would be pleased," she said.

"I am sure you are right," replied Judy, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "How much did this really cost?"

"All of it," said Helen. "Thirty thousand."

"No!" Judy exclaimed. "I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"

Helen answered, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The wake, food and drinks were a nother $500. The rest went for the memorial stone."

"Judy computed quickly, $22,500 for a memorial stone? My Lord, how big is it?"

"Two and a half carats."
