Two elderly ladies met at the laundry after not seeing one another in quite a long while.

After inquiring about each other's health, one of the ladies 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 dead, right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!"

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

"I opened a can of peas instead!"
