Hello,
Today we had a very distressed client in our offices complaining that she'd been sent a distressing letter concerning her deceased ex-husband. As the letter contained a fairly large cheque from a life insurance policy I was baffled at why she was so angry. There was talk of lawyers and compensation -usually a sign of madness in my experience.
The cause of her anguish was that the letter was addressed to 'The Executors Of The Estate Of Mr S**** B****'. Why did this cause her such distress? 'because ah never fuckin killed him!' came the reply.
A look at the dictionary and a further five minutes of patient reasoning and all was well with the world again.
Cheerio

I'm worried, I had to read it twice to understand the joke. Should I seek help?

Well done, Clairwil, that made me laugh out loud!

That has to be the strangest Malapropism I've ever heard. So much so that it threw me for a few moments as well.
It's as well that it didn't say "Executrix", or she'd have said that she wasn't a hoor.
Zin Zin,
I was there and it took me a good few minutes to realise what was happening. Let's seek help together!
SE,
Pah! You can talk everyone knows it's spelt edcashion.
David,
The credit isn't mine but one of my wonderful clients.
Illman,
See my response to Zin Zin
Dearie Me,
I hadn't thought of that. Let us pray she's not waiting for me on my return. I don't think I can take any more.
