Shopping Trip

[Rondy]

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day by finding a lovely pair of shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress in a sale in the second shop. In the third everything was reduced to a fiver when her mobile rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had been involved in a terrible accident and was in a critical condition in the ICU. The woman told the doctor to tell her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible.

As she hung up, she realised that she was leaving what was turning out to be her best ever day in the shops. She decided to get in a few more shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping for the rest of the morning finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful slice of cake, complimentary from the last shop. She was jubliant. Then she remembered her husband and, feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital.

The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'you went ahead and finished your shopping trip didn't you? I hope you're proud of yourself. While you were in town enjoying yourself your husband was languishing here in the ICU. Well its just as well you did because its more than likely to have been the last shopping trip you will take. For the rest of his life, your husband will require round the clock care and you will be his carer.'

The woman broke down and sobbed. The female doctor chuckled and said, "I'm only pulling your leg. He's dead. What did you buy?"
