Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing each other for months. After inquiring each other’s health, one asked how the other’s husband was doing.

“Oh! He died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner, had a stroke and dropped dead in the middle of the veggie patch!”

“Oh dear! I’m very sorry,” replied her friend. “What did you do?”

“Opened a can of peas instead!”
