Paddy Died

From Tom Purcell:

When filled with the Irish spirit, I am able to accept my losses and failures with greater grace. Which reminds of the time Paddy died.

His wife went to the newspaper to place his obituary. The newsman said the cost was $1 a word. "I only have $2," said Mrs. Paddy. "Just print 'Paddy died.'" The newsman decided that old Paddy deserved more. He gave her three extra words at no charge. "A kind man you are," said Mrs. Paddy. "Print me husband's obituary this way: 'Paddy died. Boat for sale.'"
