A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the
most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale the
second.
In the third everything had just been reduced to a fiver when her mobile
phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had
just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the
ICU.
The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that
she'd be there as soon as possible.
As she hung up she realised she was leaving what was shaping up to be
her best day ever in the shops. She decided to get in a couple of more
shops before heading to the hospital.
She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a
cup of coffee and a beautiful cream slice complimentary from the last shop.
She was jubilant.
Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the
hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her
husband's condition. 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 out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town,
your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as
well you went ahead and finished, because it will more than likely be the
last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require
round the clock care. And you'll now be his carer!'
The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed...............................
The lady doctor then chuckled and said,
'I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. What did you buy?'
