DEAD MAN’S HAND

The guys are playing poker when Fred loses $1500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead.

Realising Fred’s wife needs to know, Bob agrees to tell her. “Be discreet,” the guys tell Bob. Bob goes to Fred’s home. When Fred’s wife answers the door, he says, “Fred lost $1500 playing poker and is afraid to come home.” “Tell him to drop dead!” she yells. Bob nods. “OK. I’ll tell him.” SUBMITTED BY DONALD DAWSON
