The friend says, "How can that be?"
The widow says, "Well, the funeral cost me $6,500. And of course I made a donation to the church...that was $500, and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks...The rest went for the memorial stone."
The friend says, "$22,500 for the memorial stone? My God, how big is it?!"
The widow says, "Three carats!"
