“You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.”
— Cormac McCarthy
Three Bell workers were working atop a phone tower. As they started their descent, Jim slipped, fell off the tower, and was killed instantly. As the ambulance took Jim away, John said, “Well, now somebody has got to go and tell Jim’s wife. Joe said, “OK, I’m pretty good at that sensitivity stuff. I’ll do it.” Two hours later, he came back carrying a case of beer. John asked, “Where’d you get the beer, Joe?” “Jim’s wife gave it to me”, Joe replied. “That’s unbelievable! You told the Missus her husband was dead and she gave you a case of beer??” “Well, not exactly”, Joe said. “When she opened the door, I said to her ‘You must be Jim’s widow.’ She said, ‘You must be mistaken … I’m not a widow.’ Then I said, ‘I’ll betcha a case of beer you are’.”
