Barzelletta irish sugli scones
Subject: You'll never think of scones the same way again
Just makes you want to start baking doesn't it ?????????
An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of
impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite cheese
scones wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and
lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made
his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the
railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he
leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for
death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for
here, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were dozens of
his favourite cheese scones.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted
wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table,
landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted, he
could almost taste the cheese scone before it was in his mouth,
seemingly
bringing him back to life.
The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to the nearest scone at
the edge of the table, when his hand was suddenly smacked with a
spatula by his wife. . . . . . . . . . . . .
"F**k off !! " she said, "they're for the funeral !!"
