My Mother-in-law went to Israel. . . .

Once upon a time there was this man. And this man decided to tour the Holy Land with his wife and mother-in-law. And then, (careful, this could get graphic!) the mother-in-law up and dies. Deeply perplexed, the man decided to consult a mortician and ask him how much it would cost to ship his mother-in-law home for her soon-to-be-needed burial.

"Hmm," said the mortician, stroking his pointy white goatee. "That would cost you about $15,000."

Disgruntled, the man stammered, "We-ell, how much would it cost to just bury her here?"

Three hundred bucks, came the reply.

Unfamiliar with the bartering system, the man hesitated long and hard, his look pained. "Uhhhhhh, I'll ship her home."

Astounded, the mortician forgot that he was supposed to milk the guy for his money and asked, "Why? You could save tons of money if you just buried her here."

"Well," replied the man, "two thousand years ago a man was buried here and three days later He rose from the dead--I can't take that chance!"

Happy Easter.:)

I should have also mentioned that this joke can be three times funnier if it's supposedly told by "Uncle Tim" (acted by Dave H.) in a nine o'clock hour message concerning the Holy Land. Yep, Fairwood skits can be great!
