THE SHOPPING TRIP A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She
began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and
a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third everything
had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile phone
rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had
just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition
and in the ICU.
The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and
that she'd be there as soon as possible.
As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to
be he best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a
couple of more shops before heading to the hospital.
She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip
with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice
compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant.
Then she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the
hospital. She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about
her husband's condition.
The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and
finished your shopping trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of
yourself!
While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in
town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care
Unit! It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it
will more than likely be the last shopping trip you ever take! For
the rest of his life he will require round the clock care. And he
will now be your career!'
The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed.
The lady doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg.
He's dead..... show me what you bought.'
