An Arkansas woman walks into the local newspaper office to have an obituary written for her recently deceased husband. The obit editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word.

She pauses and reflects, then says, "Well, then, let it read, 'Billy Bob died.'"

Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor replies, "Sorry ma'am, there is a 7 word minimum for all obituaries".

A tad flustered, she ponders for a few seconds and then remarks,
 "In that case, let it read, 'Billy Bob died -1983 Pick-up for sale.'"
