The newspaper obituary operator received a phone call. The woman on
the other end asked, “How much do funeral notices cost?”
“Five dollars per word, ma’am,” came the response.
“Good, do you have a paper and pencil handy?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Okay, write this: ‘Cohen died.’ ”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, I forgot to tell you there’s a five-word minimum.”
“Hmmph,” came the reply. “You certainly did forget to tell me that.”
After a moment of silence, the woman continued, “Got your pencil and
paper?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Okay, print this: ‘Cohen died, Cadillac for sale.’ “
