Shopping Interruptus

[wompus]

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. Her day began with finding the 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 cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying her that
her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition in ICU.

As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her greatest shopping
day ever. She decided to hit a couple of more shops on the way to the hospital.

After a cup of coffee and a slice of chocolate cake, compliments of the last shop, she was
in an absolutely jubilant state when all of a sudden 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 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 theIntensive 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 taking care of him will now be your career!’

The woman was feeling so overwhelmed with guilt that she broke down and began sobbing.

The female doctor then chuckled and said, “I’m just pulling your leg. He’s dead.
Show me what you bought.”
