"Accident"

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual,
when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.

"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin'
to tell ya."

"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome,
Tim. But where's my husband?"

"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda. "There
was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."

"Oh, Lord no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."

"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and
gone. I'm sorry."

Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen,
Tim?"

"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness
Stout and drowned."

"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim.
Did he at least go quickly?"

"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times
to pee!"
