"An elderly man was at home, dying in bed. He smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies baking. He wanted one last cookie before he died. He fell out of bed, crawled to the landing, rolled down the stairs, & dragged himself into the kitchen, where his wife was busy baking cookies. With his strength waning, he made it to the table & was just barely able to lift his withered arm to the cookie rack. As he grasped a warm, moist chocolate chip cookie, his wife suddenly whacked his hand with a spatula. "Why" he whispered. "Why did you do that?" "They're for the funeral!"
