Dear Ann Landers,
n 1926, when I was a youngster, my mother died. I was an only child and the family had quite a lot of money. My dad managed to lose everything by the time I graduated from high school. He is dead now. A few weeks ago, at a family party, they got to talking about my mother and what beautiful jewelry she had. One of my cousins asked what happened to the jewelry. My great-uncle replied, "They buried her in it." When we got home I mentioned to my wife that we could sure use some money and I would like to have my mother's grave dug up and sell the jewelry. She looked at me like I was crazy. Would this be such a terrible thing to do? After all, I am entitled to whatever worldly goods my parents had. My wife says the thought of it makes her skin crawl. May I have your opinion? -Practical Man
Dear Man,
How practical can you get? You've managed to get by this long without digging up any graves, haven't you? If you are so nuts about money, why don't you dig up a second job?
