In quieter days, Mitch takes a sightseeing trip to Israel with his wife, and his mother-in-law insists on joining them, a fairly common occurrence for her.
She overshadows the trip even more when she dies in the hotel. Now the trip is all about her funeral.
The undertaker says, “We can bury her in a beautiful holy land cemetery for $5,000.
Mitch says, “How much to ship her back to New York?”
“Well, that would be $25,000, plus the cost of the plot. Very big money.”
Mitch says, “Fine, we’ll do that.”
The undertaker says, “Most people only pay that kind of money to have their loved ones sent here for burial. May I ask why you want to send your mother-in-law back there?”
“Well, I heard that a man died here 2,000 years ago, got buried and rose from the dead three days later. Just can’t take that chance.”
