Early one morning, Fred, who works in a funeral home, woke up his wife, Betty, complaining of severe abdominal pains. Betty took him to the emergency room where they gave him a series of tests to determine the source of the pain. While they were waiting for the results, Betty asked Fred if she should call in sick for him. He thought about it a minute and suggested they wait until they knew what was wrong. The test results came back, and the nurse informed the couple that Fred was suffering from a kidney stone.
Betty turned to her husband and asked, "Would you like me to call the funeral home now?" With an alarmed look, the nurse quickly said, "Ma'am, he's not THAT sick!" |
