Six retired Floridians were playing poker in their condo clubhouse when Miller lost $500 on a single hand, clutched his chest, and dropped dead at the table.
Ā
Showing respect for their fallen friend, the other five continued playing, standing up.
Ā
Jones looked around and asked, "So, who's going to tell his wife?"
Ā
They drew straws, and Smith picked the short one. They told him to be discreet, gentle, and to avoid making the situation worse.
Ā
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet.
Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me," Smith said.
Ā
He went over to Miller's apartment and knocked on the door.
The wife
answered and asked what he wanted.
Ā
Smith replied, "Your husband just lost $500 in our poker game, and he's afraid to come home."
Ā
"Tell him to drop dead!" the wife said.
Ā
"I'll go tell him," Smith responded
