Obituary On A Budget

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.”
