Bride and Doom

Even though her arm had already fallen off, no one had the nerve to tell Cousin Scott that Nicole had died three months before the wedding.

    Must have been some kind of flesh eating disease that killed her since it ate Scott’s nose too.

    I love how “She” is so shriveled looking, she has a shrunken hand.

    Beneath that innocuous looking little Pennsylvania Dutch plate lurks necrophelia , transvestitism, alchoholism and bad dental work. That last dance really was the last.

    I can still hear the song they played at her wedding reception…

    You’re the spirit that haunts us,
    Who makes us all flee,
    You smell of fresh earth,
    To mommy and me,
    You’d smell better on ice,
    We buried you twice,
    And you’re Daddy’s little ghoul.

    A husband loses his wife in boating accident. Cops show up two days later.

    The cop says “Mr. Smith we have bad, good, and great news.”

    The husband says “Bad news first, I guess.”

    “The Bad news is, we found your wife in the bayou.”

    The husband hangs his head, “And the good news?”

    “The good news is we found 2 dozen blue crabs on her; you get half the catch.”
