death notice

When a man died, his grieving widow put the
usual death notice in the paper, but added
that her husband had died of gonorrhea.

No sooner were the papers delivered than a
good friend of the family phoned and
complained bitterly, ""You know very well that
he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea.""

Replied the widow, ""I nursed him night and
day, so of course I knew that he died of
diarrhea. But, I thought it would be better for
posterity to remember him as a great lover
rather than the big shit he always was...""
