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. They were overtaken with Christian propaganda about magik and sorely ignorant towards
such things, but they were content with their ignorance, for they knew nothing else.
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 him dig. I had him buried upside down".
