Upon hearing that her 97 year old grandfather had passed away, a woman rushed to her 95 year old grandmother’s house to console her.
‘I’m so sorry for your loss, gran. Tell me - how did it happen?’
‘Your grandfather had a heart attack and died while we were making love on Sunday morning.’
‘How horrible for you! But surely you must have known that sex in your 90s comes with a great deal of risk?’
‘Not really, dear. You see, many years ago, we decided it would be best to do it to the sound of church bells - a nice, slow rhythm. No strain, no stress.’ The old lady paused to wipe away a tear and added, ‘He’d still be alive if that goddam ice cream truck hadn’t gone past the house.’
