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 to a fiver when her mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor
Notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible 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 her best day ever in the shops. 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 coffee slice complimentary from 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 female 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 be more than likely the last shopping
Trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will require round the clock
Care. And you'll now be his caretaker!'
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. Let's see what you bought?'
