An old man and woman were married for many years, even though
they hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screaming
and 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 black
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 68.
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 up
and out of the grave and come back to haunt you for the
rest of your life?"
The wife put down her drink and said, "Let him dig.
I had the bastard buried upside down..."
