George's Obituary

George died. So Lena went to the local paper to put a notice in the obituaries.
The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Lena what she would like to say about George.
Lena replied, “You just put ‘George died’”
The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, “That’s it? Just “George died?’ Surely, there must be something more you’d like to say about George. If its money you’re concerned about, the first five words are free. We must say something more.”
So Lena pondered for a few minutes and finally said, “O.K. You put ‘George died. Boat for sale.’”
