Blind Date

"Blind Date"*

*After being with his blind date all evening, the
man couldn't take another minute with her.

Earlier, he had secretly arranged to have a
 friend call him to the phone so he would have
an excuse to leave if something like this happened.

When he returned to the table, he lowered
his eyes, put on a grim expression and said,
"I have some bad news. My grandfather just died."

"Thank heavens," his date replied. "If yours
hadn't, mine would have had to!"

"Dearly Departed"*

*A man placed some flowers on the grave of
his dearly departed mother and started back
toward his car when his attention was diverted
to another man kneeling at a grave.

The man seemed to be praying with profound
intensity and kept repeating, "Why did you have
to die? Why did you have to die? Why did you
have to die? Why did you have to die?"

The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I
don't wish to interfere with your private grief,
but this demonstration of pain is more than I've
ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so
deeply? A child? A parent?"

The mourner took a moment to collect himself,
then replied..."My wife's first husband."
