IN LOVING MEMORY
A GUY WHO HAS JUST LOST HIS BEST FRIEND IS SEEN COMING OUT OF THE CHAPEL OF REST, AT THE FUNERAL HIS WIDDOW ASKS WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE.
WIDDOW: It was nice of you to visit him at the chapel of rest; he’d have liked that.
FRIEND: I was just fulfilling my promise, just before he died he asked me to make
sure he was laid to rest with his most treasured possession.
WIDDOW: That was good of you.
FRIEND: Nonsense, he was a real friend.
THE COFFIN IS PLACED IN THE CHURCH, THE MANS FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE ALL SEATED, THE VICAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN THE SERVICE WHEN A MOBILE PHONE STARTS RINGING, THEY ALL CHECK THEIR PHONES, EVEN THE VICAR, THEY ALL LOOK TOWARDS THE COFFIN.
THE WIDDOW LOOKS AT HER HUSBAND’S FRIEND.
WIDDOW: Please tell me you didn’t.
FRIEND: It’s what he wanted.
IT GOES TO ANSWER PHONE.
DEAD MANS VOICE: Hello! Sorry I can’t come to the phone right now because I’m
dead.
