Poor choice of words

An older relative (wife's side) has been very ill for a while with a variety of ailments and recently had cancer surgery. Was home for a while and went back into the hospital. Wife was talking to his wife over the weekend on the phone. Got done and said "Bill is not getting any better and they say there's not much they can do, so Betty is thinking of having him put down." :shock:

I said "WHAT?" I asked if those were HER (Bill's wife) words and my wife said "huh?" Don't think she realized her choice of words to me.

Wife explained that they were going to pull a tube and let him pass. I responded that sounded a whole lot different and advised her to choose her words carefully next time on that type of subject.

The more I thought about it, the more I chuckled. After a little time passed, I mentioned "BTW, when my time comes, I'll show you where I keep the .22 and you do know how to drive the backhoe, don't you?" :wink:

I keep telling my wife; That is the reason she has to learn how to operate my 'hoe.

You guys just be careful what you all do, so as they wait until it is your time and not a earlier.....

Paul

No worries for me, my wife is late for everything.lol

Several of us were sitting around the kitchen at church while the kids played in the gym after a Sunday night service. The Preachers wife said (kinda off hand) that Baptist do not believe in divorce, so the wife just has to kill the husbands. Make sure to cancel your life insurance no sense going too soon!!!

Isn't there a country song that includes.
"a good wife will love you til you die.
A bad one will make sure you go first"

I used to tell Marilyn when I die I have a spot out by the creek chosen and all she has to do is call Paul, my neighbor who has a backhoe to dig the hole. She won't go for it so I guess I will be buried amongst the company of others.

Im sorry but i found the story funny. . The funny part was that a lady said that. I just dont know if
i would actually show her where 22 was she might put you down if you just have a bad cold .LOL

The story in our family is this: Growing up we had a dog. Came time to put it down, my youngest brother Mark took it to the vet. Dad remarried after Mom died. Mark moved in with them. 2nd wife's dog was ailing and old. Mark took it to the vet. Fast forward a few years. Mark was living with my sister. When it was time for her dog to go, Mark took it to the vet. Seems like every time a pet needed to be euthanized, Mark took care of it. Now, he's living in California and I've told everyone that if I'm in a hospital or nursing home and Mark walks in the door..... uh,oh. :shock:

I can hear it now the wife saying well make sure you tell Mark. And you hollering NO NO NO dont tell Mark anything i only smashed my finger HEHEHE . I just wouldnt tell Mark where i lived LOL

Reminds me of the joke:

Farmer Joe decided his injuries from his recent accident were serious enough to take the trucking company responsible for the accident to court. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning farmer Joe.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?"
''Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the--"
''I didn't ask for any details,'' the lawyer interrupted. ''Just answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, that you were fine?"
''Well I had just got Bessie into the trailer and was driving down the road--''
''Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.'' By this time the Judge was fairly interested in Farmer Joe's answer and told the lawyer so.
''Well," said the farmer, "as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ol' Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the Patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. He said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?'"

fixerupper, Just trick your wife dont tell her when you gonna die just tell Paul Lmao, When the wife
ask paul where you at he can tell her well i just buried him down by the creek .. LOL

Sorry if I make too light of this thread but this made me laff. I had a neighbor tell me awhile back that his wife told him he was going to "die quietly in his sleep", she was going to put a pillow over his head.

“When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.”
