Upside-down Grave

An old man and woman were married for years even though they
hated each other. When they had a confrontation, screams and
yelling could be heard deep into the night. A constant statement
was heard by the neighbors who feared the man the most. "When I
die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and
haunt you for the rest of your life!"


They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for
missing cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was
feared and enjoyed the respect it garnished.


He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had
a closed casket. After the burial, the wife went straight to the
local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow.


The gaiety of her actions were becoming extreme while her
neighbors approached in a group to ask these questions, "Are you
not afraid, concerned, worried, that this man who practiced
black magic and stated when he died he would dig his way up and
out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your
life?"


The wife put down her drink and said, "Let the old fart dig. I
had him buried upside down."
