A husband and wife were married for 25 years.
They were famous for fighting constantly, and generally disliking each other.
On their 26th wedding anniversary the husband had a heart attack and died.
A few days later his widowed wife walked into the local newspaper’s office and asked to post an obituary.
The Ad editor informed her,
“We can do 4 lines with a maximum of 80 words for $100.”
“Nah.” she said,
“That’s a a lot of money and he didn’t do much. What else you got?”
“OK,” said the editor awkwardly,
“We can do 3 lines and a maximum of 25 words for $35.”
“Nope, still too expensive…” she grimaced,
“What else you got?”
Flustered, the editor wanted to get her out the door quickly so he told her,
“We have the economy option – 2 lines, 5 words max, $5.”
She agreed to that, so he filled out the order and asked,
“OK madam, what do you want it to say?”
She thought for a moment, then responded:
“Husband dead. Car for sale.”
