"How's your wife?" a fellow asked his old friend.
"She's in heaven," replied the friend.
"Oh, I'm sorry," the fellow answered. Then realizing
that was not the best phrase to use, he said,
"I mean, I'm glad ...well, what 1 really mean is,
I'm surprised."
If that don't work for you try this:
A man walked into the drugstore and
asked the pharmacist if he had a
cure for hiccups. The pharmacist walked
around the comer and approached the
man. He reached out and slapped the
man in the back. The pharmacist then
hopefully asked the man, "Do you have
the hiccups now?"
As the man composed himself
after such a sudden blow, he answered
the pharmacist, "No, I do not! But I'll
just bet you that my wife out in the car
still does."
