SYLVIA:
Hi! Wanda.
WANDA:
Hi! Sylvia. How’d you die?
SYLVIA:
I froze to death.
WANDA:
How horrible!
SYLVIA:
It wasn’t so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
WANDA:
I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
SYLVIA:
So, what happened?
WANDA:
I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
SYLVIA:
Too bad you didn’t look in the freezer —- we’d both still be alive.
(That’s not the joke as I know it, but the idea is the same)
