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:
