Paddy Died His will provided £40,000 for an elaborate funeral. As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Colleen turned to her oldest and dearest friend. "Ah well, Paddy would be pleased," she said. "You're right," replied Mary, who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "So go on, how much did this really cost?'" "All of it," said Colleen. "Forty thousand." "Aw No!" Mary exclaimed, "I mean, it was very grand, but £40,000?!!!" Colleen answered, "The funeral was £6,500. I donated £500 to church. The whiskey, wine and snacks were another £500. The rest went for the Memorial Stone." Mary computed quickly. "For the love of God Colleen, £32,500 for a Memorial Stone? How big is it?" .. . . . . . . . . Got to love the Irish |

His will provided
£40,000 for an elaborate funeral.
As the last guests departed the
affair, his wife Colleen turned to her oldest and dearest
friend.
"Ah well, Paddy would be pleased," she
said.
"You're right," replied Mary, who lowered her voice and leaned in
close.
"So go on, how much did this really cost?'"
"All of
it," said Colleen. "Forty thousand."
"Aw No!" Mary exclaimed, "I
mean, it was very grand, but £40,000?!!!"
Colleen
answered, "The funeral was £6,500. I donated £500 to church. The whiskey, wine
and snacks were another £500.
The rest went for the Memorial
Stone."
Mary computed quickly.
"For the love of God
Colleen, £32,500 for a Memorial Stone?
How big is it?"
