All that money..!
Robert Clements
Sunday, December 11, 2011 - As I keep reading of the different scams in our country and the crores of rupees that each scam unearths, I wonder what the scamster was planning to do with so much money. I mean you get crore that’s a lot of money, ten crores that’s really plenty, but a hundred crores, a thousand crores?
Just before the Roman empire started cracking and falling apart, the Romans got so used to a sensuous life style that because they loved the taste of good food, they had a room in which they went and vomited their food, so they could continue gorging on the other delicacies they could now afford. I see this in the huge mansions that are now built. Some billionaires build and buy houses all over the world, and hardly live in them. The Ambani’s have built a huge, monstrous building as their home in Mumbai, and have never spent a night there.
Money is just for spending on unnecessary, useless things. Sadly that money can never be taken with them when they die, though the man in the tale below tried to take some money up to the Pearly gates too: He had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...’When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the after life with me.’
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,
‘Wait just a moment!’ She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, ‘Woman, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.’
The loyal wife replied, ‘Listen, I have always been a loyal wife; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.’ You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?’ ‘I sure did,’ said the wife. ‘I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque. If he can cash it, then he can spend it..!’ My dear scamsters and some of you miserly billionaires, since you can’t cash it up there, why don’t you start spending it on the nations needy down here?
