The Obituary

Betsy and Dan were married for 25 years.

They were famous for fighting and generally disliking each other.

One the 26th year Dan had a heart attack and died.

A few days later Betsy walks into the local newspaper's office and asks to post an obituary.

The Ad Editor informs her, "We can do 4 lines with a maximum of 80 words for $100". "Nah." She says,

"That's a a lot of money and he didn't do much. What else you got?"

"Ok," Says the editor awkwardly. "We can do 3 lines and a maximum of 25 words for $35."

"Nope, still too expensive..." She grimaces. "What else ya got?"

Flustered, the ad man wants to get her out the door and tells her,
"We have the economy options - 2 lines, 5 words max, $5."

She agrees. So he fills out the order and asks, "okay, what do you want it to say?"

She thinks for a moment and then says:

"Dan's dead. Car for sale."
