The old man liked the fact that he was feared. To everyone's relief, he died of a heart attack when he was 98..

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..

The wife put down her drink and said, 'Let him dig. I had him buried upside down......'
