Ruthie (JOKE)

Ruthie was enjoying a good game of bridge with
her girl friends one evening.
"Oh, no! I have to rush home and fix dinner
for my husband! He's going to really be ticked if
it's not ready on time!" she exclaimed, suddenly.

When she got home, she realized that she
didn't have enough time to go to the supermarket,
and all she had in the cupboard was a wilted lettuce
leaf, an egg, and a can of cat food. In a panic, she
opened the can of cat food, stirred in the egg, and
garnished it with the lettuce leaf just as her
husband pulled up. She greeted him and then watched
in horror as he sat down to his dinner. To her
surprise, her husband really enjoyed his dinner.

"Ruthie, this is the best dinner you have made
for me in forty years of marriage. You can make this
for me any old day.

Needless to say, every bridge night from then
on, Ruthie made her husband the same dish. She told
her bridge cronies about it and they were all
horrified.

"You're going to kill him!" they exclaimed.

Two months later, her husband died. Her bridge
cronies came around to pay their respects and while
they were sitting around the kitchen table one of
them said, "You killed him! We told you that feeding
him that cat food every week would do him in! How
can you just sit there so calmly drinking tea
knowing you murdered your husband?"

Ruthie stoically replied, "I didn't kill him.
He fell off the mantle while he was licking his butt."
