A Fun Little Joke: Two Requests

December 06, 2008 11:06 PM EST

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.

"Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?"

The woman replied, "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."

From the December 4th e-mail from Crosswalk.com, "You Make Me Laugh".

semi-apology for a "generic" reply ~ however, I opened my gather emails to find over 2000 new emails of friends postings over the past five days with only one hour to reply ~ therefore, am doing the proverbial driveby and giving a ten rating of course ~ and, on a personal note, I only need 174 points to cash out ~ so hopefully this will be a win situation for you AND me ~ I do appreciate all of my gather friends and wish I had the time to be more thorough, but……..a DB 10 pinky to ya is my offer for the day ~ smiles ~j
