ally-b Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 After my crash , I had many sympathetic emails , but this is the best (from my friend from N.I. ) "How you feeling after your bump,never mind the motor u walked away.Any way think you'll like this....... "An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed. >While suffering the agonies of impending death, >he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite >cheese scones wafting up the stairs. >He gathered his remaining strength, >and lifted himself from the bed. >Leaning against the wall, he slowly made >his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, >gripping the railing with both hands,he crawled downstairs. >With laboured breath, he leaned against the >doorframe, gazing into the kitchen. >Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself >already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the >kitchen table were dozens of his favourite cheese scones. >Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his >devoted Irish wife of sixty years,seeing to it that he >left this world a happy man? >Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the >table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. >His parched lips parted, he could almost taste the cheese scone >before it was in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life. >The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to the nearest scone at >the edge of the table, when his hand was suddenly smacked with a spatula >by his wife . . . . . . . . . >"Feck Off!! ",she said, "They're for the funeral"
