Paul died, leaving a will that provided $30,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last of the visitors departed the affair, his wife, Lynne, turned to her oldest friend and said,
"Well, I'm sure Paul would be pleased."
"I'm sure you're right," replied Jody,
who then lowered her voice and leaned in close,
"How much did this really cost?"
"All of it,"
said Lynne.
"Thirty thousand."
"No!"
Jody exclaimed.
"I mean, it was very nice, but $30,000?"
Lynne replied, "The funeral was $6,500. I donated $500 to the church. The wake, food and drinks were another $500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone."
Jody computed quickly.
"$22,500 for a Memorial Stone? My God, how big is it?"
"Two and a half carats."

OMG!!
