Could this be a case of child kidnapping???

 

 

True?

 

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked,

"How old was your husband?"

"98," she replied: "Two years older than me"

"So you're 96," the undertaker commented.

She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?"

 

 

 

 

I think so!  Is that a funny man, Atlas?

 

 

See you Sunday.
