Six retired Floridians were playing poker in the condo clubhouse
when Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead
at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing
standing up.
Finkelstein looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna' tell his wife?"
They draw straws. Goldberg picks the short one.
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any
worse.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet.
Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me."
Goldberg goes over to the Meyerwitz apartment, knocks on the door. The wife
answers and asks what he wants. Goldberg declares: "Your husband just lost
$500, and is afraid to come home."
"Tell him he should drop dead!" says the wife.
"I'll go tell him." says Goldberg.
