| Early one morning, John, who works at the local funeral parlour, woke his wife, complaining of severe abdominal pains. They rushed to the emergency room, at the local hospital, where they gave him a series of tests to determine the source of the pain. John told his wife not to call in sick for him until they knew what was wrong. When the results came back, the nurse informed them that, true to their suspicions, he was suffering from a kidney stone. John`s wife turned to John and asked, "Would you like me to call the funeral parlour now?" With an alarmed look, the nurse quickly said, "Ma`am, he`s not THAT sick!" |
