A very spunky woman was enjoying a good game of spades in the zone with her girlfriends one evening. "Oh, no! I have to rush and fix dinner for my husband! He's going to really be ticked if it's not ready on time! she exclaimed suddenly. When she started, she realized that she didn't have enough time to go to the supermarket, and all she had in the cupboard was a wilted lettuce leaf, an egg, and a can of cat food. In a panic, she opened the can of cat food, stirred in the egg, and garnished it with the lettuce leaf just as her husband pulled up. She greeted her husband and then watched in horror as he sat down to his dinner. To her surprise, the husband really enjoyed his dinner. "Darling, this is the best dinner you have made for me in forty years of marriage. You can make this for me any old day.Needless to say, every spade night from then on, the woman made her husband the same dish. She told her spade cronies about it and they were all horrified. You're going to kill him!" they exclaimed. Two months later, her husband died. The women were on the zone playing spades when one of the cronies said, "You killed him! We told you that feeding him that cat food every week would do him in! How can you just sit there so calmly and play spades knowing you murdered your husband?"The wife stoically replied, "I didn't kill him. He fell off the mantel while he was licking his butt."
