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 in
the second.
In the third, everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her
mobile phone rang.
It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in
a terrible car 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
boutiques. 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 chocolate cake slice, compliments of
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 he
will now be your career!'
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. Show me what you bought.'
