A day at the local newspaper

[joedog]

Friend of mine works at the local paper as an editer.
When short handed he'll do what ever task needs to be done. Yesterday he was filling in for the gentleman who takes care of the local obituaries.
Marque, he actually legally had a name change done from Mark to Marque, He's kind of 'phuqueing' nuts, but thats beside the point.

So a lady comes in and tells him that her husband passed and she wanted to list it in the paper.
So my friend ask what she wanted printed and she replied, "Bruce's dead". So Marque, kind of surprised, said, "Thats it, 'Bruce's dead' ?". "There's surely something else you'd like to share about Bruce." If it's the money that concerns you the first five words are free. There must be something we can say about Bruce."
So after a kind of lengthy pause the young lady asked, "Out of curiousity, what do you charge for want ads?" Which Marque said the charge was usually $25."
Again after a short few minute pause, the lady said, "Ok, you put, 'Bruce's dead, BOAT for SALE!"
