Two ladies, who hadn’t seen each other in
quite some time, met at the supermarket.
“How are you, Helen?”
“Fine.”
“And your husband?”
“Oh, Karl died two weeks ago.”
“What? I hadn’t heard. What happened?”
“He went out in the garden to dig up a cabbage
for dinner, had a heart attack and fell over, dead.”
“I’m sorry. What did you do?”
“Opened a can of corn instead.”
