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

"Oh! My husband died last week. 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! I'm very sorry," replied her friend, "What did you do?"

"Oh, I opened a can of carrots instead"
