DIED 2008

A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her

recently deceased husband is written. The obit editor informs

her that the fee for the obituary is 50 cents a word.

She pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then, let it read,

'Billy Bob died.'" Amused at the woman's

thrift, the editor says, "Sorry ma'am, there is a 7 word minimum on all obituaries."

Only a little flustered, she thinks things over and in a few seconds says...

"In that case, let it read, Billy Bob died - Border Collie for sale."
