As an Irishman lay dying!

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Chris Cane

An elderly Irishman man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite Lemon Whiskey Cake wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in rumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a cake at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a wooden spoon …….

Feck off she said, they’re for the funeral.
