Chaim Yankel is waiting for his wife to return home from shopping when his doorbell rings. When he opens the door, there are two grim-faced police officers standing there.
“Can we come in, sir?” asks one of them.
“Of course,” replies Chaim Yankel.
They come in and he shuts the door. “How can I help you?” asks Chaim Yankel.
“Do you have a photo of your wife we could look at?” asks one of the officers.
Of course I have,” replies Chaim Yankel. “Why do you want to see it?”
“Could we please see the photo first,” says the other officer, “and then we’ll tell you why.”
Chaim Yankel gets a recent photo and shows it to them. The police officers study it carefully, then one of them says to Chaim Yankel, “I’m sorry sir, but we have to inform you that it looks like your wife got hit by a truck.”
Without thinking, Chaim Yankel says, “I’ve known that ever since I met her, but she makes up for it with a great sense of humor!”
