    An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's final
    agony, just as he started to slip away, he suddenly
    smelled the aroma of his favourite chocolate chip
    cookies 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 forced himself down the stairs. Gripping the
    railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs defying
    the pull of Morpheus.

    With laboured breath, he leaned against the
    door-frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for
    the immense pain caused by his extreme exertions, he
    would have thought himself already in heaven for there
    spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table -
    were hundreds of his favourite chocolate chip cookies.

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

    Mustering one great final effort, with tears in his
    eyes, he threw himself toward the table, landing on
    his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips
    parted: the wondrous taste of the sweet biscuit was
    already mentally tasting in his mouth, seemingly
    bringing him back to life. He felt renewed strength
    pulsate through his body. The aged and withered hand
    trembled on its way to one lone biscuit at the edge of
    the table, when ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...It was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife....
    ...
    ... "F**k off, " she said, "they're for the funeral."
