An old man and woman were married for years, even though they hated each
other. When they had a confrontation, screaming and yelling could be heard
deep into the night. The old man would shout, "When I die, I will dig my way
up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your
life!"
Neighbors feared him. They believed he practiced black magic because of
the many strange occurrences that took place in their neighborhood. The
old man liked the fact he was feared. To everyone's relief, he died of
a heart attack when he was 68. His wife had a closed casket at the wake.
After the burial, she went straight to the local bar and began to party
as if there was no tomorrow.
Her neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that
he may indeed be able to dig his way up and out of the grave and come back
and haunt you for the rest of your life?" The wife put down her drink and
said, "Let the old bastard dig. I had him buried upside own."
