An elderly Jewish woman, hovering near death, calls in a rabbi. “I have two requests before I die,” she says. “First I want to be cremated.” “But that’s absolutely forbidden,” the rabbi answers. “Jewish law considers cremation to be the grosses disrespect to a dead body.” “I don’t care,” she says. “I want to be cremated.” The argument drags on, but the rabbi sees he is making no headway. “What’s your sec ond request?” he asks wearily. “I want my ashes scattered over Bloomingdale’s.” “Why, in God’s name do you want to do that?” “That way, I’m sure my daughters will visit me at least twice a week.”
