Assisted By The Church Bells.

I hope this brings a little smile.

Nancy received the sad news that her beloved grandfather had just passed away. She went straight to her grandparents' house to visit her 92 year old grandmother and offer her some comfort. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "It was a heart attack, he got it while we were making love Sunday morning." Horrified, Nancy told her grandmother that two people over 90 years of age would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Years ago, realising our advanced age, we figured out the best time for it was on Sunday, when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply timing it on the Ding and the Dong." She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream van hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"
