If You're in the Mood for some Dark Humor...

WOMEN AND SHOPPING
My mom sent me this joke:

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third shop everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her cell phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident and was in critical condition in the ICU.

The woman asked the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as soon as possible.

As she hung up, she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best day ever in the boutiques. She decided to hit a couple more shops before heading to the hospital.

She ended up shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a slice of chocolate cake, compliments of the last shop. She was jubilant.

Then 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 lady doctor glared at her and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your shopping trip, didn't you? I hope you are proud of yourself! While you were out for the last four hours enjoying yourself in town, your husband has been languishing in the Intensive 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 be your new career!"

The woman was feeling so guilty that she broke down and sobbed.

The lady doctor then chuckled and said, "I'm just pulling your leg. He's dead. Now show me what you bought."

Yep, it has all the great elements: shoes, dress, prices half-off, coffee, CHOCOLATE, then showing them off to a friend! Superb!
