Chester and Thelma: Trip To The Holy Land ...

Chester and Thelma had been married for over 50 years and Thelma was one of those females who constantly nagged her poor husband yet he took it in stride feeling that one should always keep their marriage vows and besides Thelma did have some redeeming qualities.

Thelma had always dreamed of taking a trip to Israel to visit the Holy Land. So after frugally saving a penny here, a dime there and investing it wisely the couple soon had a healthy portfolio and Thelma decided it was time to realize her dream of traveling to the Holy Land. So ...

Being the good husband Chester agreed and they contacted a travel agent, booked their trip and packed their bags. Soon they were landing in Israel.

They stepped off the plane and Thelma clutched her chest and dropped dead in her tracks.

Naturally this caused quite a commotion and poor Chester found himself contacting the local mortician in order to make arrangements for Thelma's funeral. He needed to get her ready for the flight home. So ...

While at the mortuary the mortician asked him :"WHY do you want to spend $5000.00 dollars to transport your wife home to the states when you could have her buried her in the Holy Land for around $650?

Chester thought about it then said: "Years ago you folks had a fella die here, buried here and then 3 days later that same fella rose from the dead and quite frankly I just can't take that chance."
