As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Colleen turned to her oldest and dearest friend. "Ah well, to be sure Paddy would be pleased," she said.
"To be sure 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, Colleen, $32,500.00 for a Memorial Stone? How big is it?"
Got to love the Irish!
