Deathbed Question
Deathbed Question
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 10:17:09 +0600
A man lies on his deathbed, surrounded by his family: a weeping wife and
four children. Three of the children are tall, good-looking and athletic;
but the fourth and youngest is an ugly runt.
"Darling wife," the husband whispers, "assure me that the youngest
child really is mine. I want to know the truth before I die, I will
forgive you if--"
The wife gently interrupts him. "Yes, my dearest, absolutely, no
question, I swear on my mother's grave that you are his father."
The man then dies, happy.
The wife mutters under her breath: "Thank God he didn't ask about the
other three."
