A man calls his mother in Florida. “Mom, how are you?” “Not too good,” says
the mother. “I’ve been very weak.” The son says, “Why are you so weak?” She
says, “Because I haven’t eaten in 5 days.” The man says, “That’s terrible! Why
haven’t you eaten in 5 days? The mother answers, “Because I didn’t want my mouth
to be filled with food if you should call.”
