Joke of the Day
An old man on his death bed suddenly smelled something delicious. He dragged himself up and staggered to the kitchen where he saw the counter full of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (his favourite) As he reached for one, his wife slapped his hand and said; 'Don't touch those, they're for the funeral.'
