The Midnight Freemasons: Friday Funny

Friday Funny

The wife and I were sitting around the breakfast table one lazy Sunday morning.

She said to me, “If I were to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell all my stuff.”

“Now why would you want me to do something like that?” I asked.

“I figure that you would eventually remarry and I don’t want some other bitch using my stuff.”

I looked at her and said: “What makes you think I’d marry another bitch?”
