A woman was enjoying a game of bridge with her friends one afternoon. But then suddenly she noticed the time and exclaimed: "Oh no! I have to rush home and fix dinner for my husband! He'll be furious if it's not ready on time." When she got home, she realized she didn't have enough time to get to the supermarket and found that all she had in the cupboard was a wilted lettuce leaf, an egg, and a can of cat food. In a panic, she opened the can of cat food, stirred in the egg, and garnished it with the lettuce leaf just as she heard her husband's car pull up outside. She greeted him lovingly and then watched in apprehension as he sat down to the improvised meal. To her amazement, he really enjoyed it. "Darling, this is the best dinner you've made me in ages! We must have it again!" Needless to say, she kept quiet about the ingredients. So every bridge afternoon from then on, she made him the same dish of lettuce, egg and cat food. She told her bridge friends about it and they were all horrified. "You'll kill him!" they said. Then two months later, her husband died. At the next bridge gathering, one of the women lost her temper. "I said you'd end up killing him," she told the wife, "feeding the poor man cat food every week! How can you just sit there so calmly playing bridge knowing that you murdered your husband?" "I didn't kill him," the wife protested. "He fell off the window ledge while he was licking himself."
