On Holiday With George...
.
George went on holiday to the Middle East with most of his family, including his mother-in-law. During their holiday, and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died.
With the death certificate in hand, George went to the British Embassy Office to make arrangements to send the body back to England for a proper burial. The Embassy , after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law, told George, "My friend, the sending of a body back to the British Isles for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as £3,000 pounds sterling," The Embassy continued, "In most of these cases, the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost £100... George thinks for some time, and then answers the Embassy , "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back. That's what I want to do." The man at the Embassy , after hearing this says, "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much, considering the difference in price between the two." "No, it's not that," says George.
"You see, I know of a case many, many years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem, and on the third day he was resurrected. Consequently, I do not want to take that chance!"
