He chides his wife for leaving a light turned on and he reads his neighbor's newspaper rather than buy his own. When his wife discovers he has bank accounts totaling $33,000 she starts spending money on herself, and he decides he has to do something about it. He tries to hire a "hit man," but recoils when he's told that the fee would be $500. The "hit man" refers him to a chemist to buy poison, but again recoils at the cost. He decides to find a low-cost way to proceed, but even when he's successful, he is taken aback when the doctor tells him that the funeral will likely cost at least $160. Even with that, he finds a way to avoid the costs. Written by garykmcd / edited by Rob See less
