Every once in awhile, br you hear a funny story, br and sometimes you wonder br if what is written there br is fiction or true. br Normally you will not question, br in case it embarrasses or offends. br Well I what I am about to tell you br is it a fib or is it true? br Some thirty-eight years ago, br I went to a funeral of a friend br and ended up with the widow br as a booby prize. br So if I told you that br is exactly how I met my wife, br would you believe me br or would you think I am having you on? br You would be wrong br to think I was having you on. br Because it was at her first husband’s funeral that we met. br It was a few weeks later br a bunch of his friend met, in a coffee bar. br Someone suggested br one of us should take the widow out, br and I drew the short straw br and I got the booby prize br all those years ago, br or was it a fine romance. br I will leave it up to you to decide.
