BLACK MAGIC

An old man and woman were married for years even though they hated each

other. When they had a confrontation, screams and yelling could be heard

deep into the night. A constant statement was heard by the neighbors who

feared the man the most. "When I die I will dig my way up and out of the

grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing

cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was feared and enjoyed

the respect it garnished.

He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had a closed

casket. After the burial, the wife went straight to the local bar and

began to party as if there was no tomorrow. The gaiety of her actions

were becoming extreme while her neighbors approached in a group

to ask these questions: Are you not afraid? Concerned? Worried? that this

man who practiced black magic and stated when he died he would dig his

way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of

your life?

The wife put down her drink and said..."let the old bastard dig. I had

him buried upside down."
