Reader's Digest 4月号のLaughter The Best Medicneからの引用です。
One lazy Sunday morninc, as the wife and I are sitting around the breakfast table, I said, "When I die, I want you to sell all my stuff immediately."
She asked, "Now, why would you want me to do something like that?"
"I figure you'd eventually remarry, and I don't want some other jerk using my stuff."
She looked at me intently and said, "What makes you think I'd marry another jerk?"

Note: jerk: stupid person, usually a man: You stupid jerk! You've just spilled beer all down my new shirt! (Cambridge English Dictionary)
