Poor old Murphy
Old man Murphy had worked down at the brewery for
years, but one day he just wasn't paying attention
and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the
beer vat and drowned. The foreman thought it should
be his job to inform the widow Murphy of her old man's
death. He showed up at the front door and rang the
bell. When she came to the door, he said, "I'm sorry
to tell you, but poor old Murphy passed away at work
today when he fell into the vat and drowned." She wept
and covered her face with her apron and after a time,
between sobs, she asked, "Tell me, did he suffer?"
"I don't think so," said the foreman: "He got out three
times to go to the men's room."
