Redneck Obituary

A woman from the southernmost part of Alabama went into the local newspaper office to have the obituary for her recently deceased husband written. The obit editor informed her that the fee for an obituary is 50 cents per word. She paused, reflected, and said, "Well, then, let it read, 'Billy Bob died'." Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor said, "Sorry ma'am, there is a 7 word minimum on all obituaries". A little flustered, she thought things over and, in a few seconds said, "In that case, let it read:

'Billy Bob died - 1983 Pickup for sale.'"
