Pete

Mrs. Pete Monaghan came into the newsroom
to pay for her husband’s obituary. She was told
by the kindly newsman that it was a dollar a word
and he remembered Pete and wasn’t it too bad
about him passing away. She thanked him for
his kind words and bemoaned the fact that she
only had two dollars. But she wrote out the
obituary, “Pete died.”
The newsman said he thought old Pete
deserved more and he’d give her three
more words at no charge. Mrs. Pete Monaghan
thanked him and rewrote the obituary:
“Pete died. Boat for sale.” :D
