Best Remembered
When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death
notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea.
No sooner were the papers delivered when a good friend of the
family phoned and complained bitterly, "You know very well
that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea."
Replied the widow, "I nursed him night and day so of course
I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better
for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the
big shit he always was."
