Going Out in Style!

An ABC talkback was started on radio about the funny side of death. A woman rang in and told how her grandfather was in hospital and was expected to die soon. She received a call from the hospital to come as quickly as possible, and so she raced over to her grandfather's bed,where she found a nurse massaging his feet in front of a radiator she had placed on a chair.

The woman asked "What are you doing?"

The nurse replied "I'm keeping his feet warm. Nobody ever died with warm feet."

Grandpa, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up and said "Joan of Arc did" and promptly died.

The woman couldn't think of a nicer memory to have of grandpa's death, as he had died the way he had lived, making people laugh.
