      "Memorial Stone"

      A woman's husband dies.  He had $20,000 to his name.  After everything

is done at the funeral home and cemetery, she tells her closest friend that

there is no money left.

      The friend says, "How can that be?  You told me he had $20,000 a few

days before he died.  How could you be broke?"

      The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500.  And of course, I

had to make the obligatory donation for the church and the organist and all. 

That was $500, and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks, you know.

 The rest went for the memorial stone."

      The friend says, "$12,500 for the memorial stone?  My stars, how big

was it?"

      The widow says "Three carats."
