Jim went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family including his mother-in-law. During their vacation while they were visiting Jerusalem, Jim's mother-in-law sadly passed away.
With the death certificate clutched in his hand, Jim went to the British Consulates office to make the neccessary arrangements to send the body back to Blighty for a proper burial.
The Consul, after hearing of the sad demise of Jims mother-in-law, told him that the sending of a body back to the UK 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."
Jim 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 Jim. "You see, I know the story of a bloke that was buried here in Jerusalem many years ago. On the third day he arose from the dead and I'm just not willing to take that fucking chance..."
