Irish Scone

    An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed. While suffering the
    gonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his
    favourite cheese scones wafting up the stairs. He gathered his
    remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning
    against 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. With laboured breath, he leaned
    against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen.

    Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself
    already in heaven, for here, spread out upon waxed paper on
    the kitchen table were dozens of his favourite cheese scones.

    Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic 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 a rumpled posture. His parched
    lips parted, he could almost taste the cheese scone before it was in his
    mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.

    The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to the nearest
    scone at the edge of the table, when his hand was suddenly
    smacked with a spatula by his wife. . . . . .. . . . . . . .


    "F*ck off !! " she said, "they're for the funeral !!"
