Obituary
A woman goes to the local newspaper office to see that the
death notice for her recently deceased husband is published.
The editor informs her that there is a charge of 50 cents per word.
She pauses, reflects, and then she says, well then, let it read: "Fred Brown died."
Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor tells her
that there is a seven word minimum for all obituaries.
She thinks it over and in a few seconds says,
"In that case, let it read, 'Fred Brown died. Golf clubs for sale.'"
