Old uber wealthy Bernie passed on at the ripe age of 86. After the funeral service, his long suffering trophy wife of 18 months brought home his ashes. She spread a towel on the top of her brand new baby grand piano, poured Bernie's ashes on the towel, an sat on the bench. She said "Bernie remember the piano you promised me? You're on it. Remember the new house you promised me? Look at that view through the bay window. Remember the BJ I promised you Bernie?" She pursed her lips and blew.

Feel free. My grandfather told me that joke 50 some odd years ago. No doubt he stole it from someone else. Embellish it as you please.
