Today’s FUNNY!! 😂😂

A senior couple:

For 58 years, John Paul and Betty May shared a beautiful and enduring marriage, although not without their occasional squabbles and disagreements.

John Paul, a staunch retired military veteran, was unyielding in his opinions. He disliked being proven wrong on any matter.

During confrontations, yelling could be heard late into the night. John Paul would shout,
“When I die, I’ll dig my way up and out of the grave and come back to haunt you for the rest of your life, old woman!”

The neighbors were intimidated by him, and old John Paul took pleasure in being feared.

He passed away at the ripe old age of 98.

After the funeral, neighbors expressed concern for 84-year-old Betty May and showed genuine care for her well-being.

“Aren’t you afraid that he may be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?”

Without a blink of an eye, Betty May replied,
“LET HIM DIG. I HAD HIM BURIED UPSIDE DOWN…AND I KNOW HE WON’T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS.”
