Two elderly ladies met at the launderette after
not seeing one another for some time. After
inquiring about each other's health, one asked
how the other's husband was doing.

"Oh! Ted died last week," she said. "He went
out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner,
had a heart attack and dropped down dead right
there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"

"Oh dear! I'm very sorry," replied her friend.
"What did you do?"

"Opened a can of peas instead."
