[SOC] Burying the dead

[Bob Nielsen]

During their vacation, and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's 
mother-in-law died. With death certificates in hand, George went to
the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to =
the states for proper burial.

The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told 
George
that the sending of a body back to the states for burial is very, very
expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00. The Consul continues, "In
most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to 
bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00."

George thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it 
will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do."

The Consul, after hearing this, says, "You must have loved your
mother-in-law very much considering the difference in price."

"No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case years ago
of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he
arose from the dead! I just can't take that chance."
