HUMOUR: The Coffin

(Humour)

A family in the Southern Province of China, were puzzled when the coffin of their dead grandmother arrived from the States.

It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it!

When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top; which... read as follows.

Dear Cousins,

I am sending Ahma's (Grandma) body to you since it was her wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in Tung Shin.

Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leave have been utilised. You will find inside the coffin, under Ahma's body, 12 cans of Yohmeitsu (alcoholic herbal tonic), 10 packets of Swiss chocolates and packets of Chinatown Lap Cheong (Chinese sausage). Please divide these among all of you.

On Ahma's feet you will find a new pair of Nike Air shoes (size 10) for Ah boy. Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes for Ah Mei's (sister) and Ah Lien's (sister) sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ahma is wearing 6 CK T-Shirts. The large size is for Ah Bak (Uncle) and the others are for my nephews. Just distribute them among yourselves. The 2 new Armani jeans that Ahma is wearing are for the boys.

The Rolex watch that Lee Ah Bai wanted is on Ahma's left wrist. Kiasu Aunty Pei Pei, Ahma is wearing the Tiffany necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white Polo cotton socks that Ahma is wearing must be divided among my teenage cousins.

Let me know what else you need as Ah Kong is also not keeping well nowadays. I can send all required things when our Ah Kong (Grandpa) also...
