Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing
one another for some time.

After inquiring about each
other's health, one asked how the other's husband was doing.

"Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig
up a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down
dead right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"

"Oh dear! I'm very sorry," replied her friend, "What did
you do?"

"Opened a can of peas instead."
