an irish love story

[logic]

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering
the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma
of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself
from the bed. Leaning on 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
door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's
agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for
there, spread out upon the kitchen table were
literally hundreds of his favourite scones.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of 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 rumpled posture.
His aged and withered hand trembled towards a scone at the
edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife
with a wooden spoon ......
.........

.........

F**k off" she said, "they're for the funeral."

what has irish got to do with it

[cazzz1975]

hmmmm

[logic]

dunno bob, never gave it any thought , just copied it

[whiffey]

It may be building on the popular misconception that Irish people are half-witted. This is of course RACIST and I have reported the thread. It is akin to suggesting that Scottish people can't speak English properly and that Hadrian's Wall was a waste of time the noo.

[logic]

That's a good point whiffey, I'm glad you had the sense to report it .

[bobtheturkey]

in fairness many a scone i have an eaten at a funeral

[logic]

OK OK I give in, I'll call it an english story as I am english, i can't be racist against myself, CAN I, ?

[logic]

funnygirl I wouldnt have the patience to sit there all that time twiddling my thumbs, although she does come down quite often,
she does want to do some sight seeing in London, and we have discussed bringing the van down, as there are two club sites just on the outskirts, within close access to the underground,
Don't reply to this funny as I am closing down now till monday night,
So hopefully we will talk then,
Take care funny, and all the best,
Regards, pete,
