A Scottish woman goes to the local newspaper office to see that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is published.
The "obit" editor informs her that there is a charge of 50 cents per word.
She pauses, reflects, and then she says, "Well, then, let it read, 'Angus Mac Pherson died'."
Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor tells her that there is a seven word minimum for all obituaries.
She thinks it over and in a few seconds says, "In that case, let it read.......
'Angus Mac Pherson died. Golf clubs for sale'."

I am old enough to make my own decisions....Just not young enough to remember what I decided!....

Re: Scottish Obituary
Gotta watch those MacPhersons, they're dodgy, tight fisted types! 
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
