Couples . . .
An elderly man was at home, weak from exhaustion and in his
death throes on his death bed. He smells the aroma of his
favorite chocolate chip cookies baking. With a smile on his
face because of his wife thinking of him while he is on his
death bed he decided he'd surprise her and get to the kitchen.
He wanted one last cookie before he died.
With his weakening strength he fell out of bed, crawled to the
landing, rolled down the stairs, and with great effort pulled
himself into the kitchen where his wife was busily baking cookies.
With waning strength he crawled to the table and was just barely
able to lift his withered arm to the cookie sheet.
As he grasped a warm, moist, chocolate chip cookie, his favorite
kind, his wife suddenly whacked his hand with a spatula.
"Why? Why??" he whispered. "Why did you do that?"
"They're for the funeral."
