Irish Funeral

Paddy Died. His Will provided £40,000  for an elaborate funeral.
As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Colleen turned  to her oldest and dearest friend.  "Ah well, Paddy would be pleased," she  said.


"You're right," replied Mary,  who lowered her voice and leaned in close. "So go on, how much did this  really cost?"
"All of it," said Colleen. "Forty  thousand."


"Aw No!" Mary exclaimed, "I mean, it  was very grand, but £40,000?!!!"
Colleen answered, "The funeral was  £6,500. I donated £500 to church. The whiskey, wine and snacks  were another £500. The rest went for the Memorial  Stone."


Mary computed quickly. "For the love of God, Colleen, £32,500 for a  Memorial Stone? How big is  it?"
