Funeral Preparations - 2
A woman goes into the local newspaper office, the 'Yorkshire Yawn,' to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published.
After the editor informs her that the fee for the obituary is 50 pence a word, she pauses, reflects and then says, "Well, then, let it read 'Fred Brown died'."
Confounded at the woman's thrift, the editor stammers that there is a 7-word minimum for all obituaries.
The woman pauses again, counts on her fingers and replies, "In that case, 'Fred Brown died: 2013 Volvo for sale'."
