When the Widow Brown’s husband died last year, she placed an obituary in the Andover Times newspaper stating that old man Brown died from gonorrhea. When other members of old man Brown’s family read the obit, they were outraged and immediately called the Widow to complain.

“My brother did not die of gonorrhea. He died of diarrhea!” was the essence of one call.

The Widow shot back immediately in response and said, “God, I should know what he died of. I nursed him for over the last year of his life. I know he died of diarrhea. I just thought for posterity’s sake, it would be better if people thought of him as a great lover rather than the real shit he was!”
