Smile!
Comments(7)
Three dead bodies turn over the weekend, all with very big smiles on their faces. Monday morning, the coroner calls the homicide chief to tell him of the weekend’s events.
The Coroner tells the Inspector, “First body is a 72-year-old Frenchman. He died of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous smile.”
“Makes sense,” the detective says, scribbling some notes.
“The second body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won ten thousand dollars on the lottery and spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile.”
“Got it,” the Inspector said. “What of the third body?”
“Ah,” says the coroner, “This is the most unusual one. Brian Cowen, Taoiseach, struck by lightning.”
“Well, why the hell is he smiling, then?” inquires the Inspector.
“Tragic,” the coroner said. “He thought he was having his photo taken.”
(Nothing tragic here …. )
Haha . . would be funny if it didn’t have that ring of truth. Paddy am I falling into your spam box?
Hehe . . would be funny if it wasn’t sadly true! Am I falling into your spam box? I’m sure my last comment dippaseared! *sob* Glad to see you back Paddy.
All your comments end up on my spam list Baino ….. I have to approve them every time.
Your last comments got incinerated ‘cos there were over 300 spam comments on my list and I deleted them all in one foul sweep!
Thanks for the ‘Welcome back’ ….. I’ll be around intermittently.
Good to see you back, Paddy
Youse were missed, youse were!
Sorry, but I refuse to smile at Cowen
That’s the issue with most people used to the limelight. Any sudden lightsource and they automatically turn into “photography mode”…
Paddy, Baino has been falling by the wayside for all of us since she changed provider. I fish her out of the ‘extensions’ on a regular basis!
That’s a good one. Sorry I am so late… I had toyboys to chase.
Welcome back by the way!
Paddy, nice to have you back up to your standard levels of existence. Good story.
