Subject: Unfortunate Endings

Sam met his friend Morris on the street. "Morris," he said,
"I haven't seen you in years. You look terrible - what's happened?"

"You won't believe," said Morris. I got married three times in
the last three years and buried three wives!"

"How terrible, Morris, how tragic," Sam said. "What happened?"

"Three years ago, I married this rich widow, and she died a month
later after eating poison mushrooms. A year later, I met this
wealthy divorcee, and she died a month after we married, again
from poison mushrooms. Then last year, I married again, and a month
later, she died."

"Don't tell me," Sam said. "Poison mushrooms."

"No, a fractured skull," said Morris. "She wouldn't eat the
poison mushrooms."
