Previous Ed was nearing the very finish, peacefully surrounded by his loving household.
As his closing moments approached, he gathered the final of his energy and whispered, “I need to let you know all my biggest secret…”
His emotional kinfolk leaned in nearer, hanging on his each breath.
“Once I was younger, I had all of it,” Ed sighed. “Quick automobiles, lovely ladies, and a mountain of money. However a superb good friend warned me, ‘Ed, get married and begin a household. In any other case, nobody will likely be there to offer you a glass of water while you’re in your deathbed.’”
He took a weak breath and continued, “So, I took his recommendation. I traded the wild ladies for a spouse, swapped chilly beers for child components, and offered my Ferrari to fund faculty financial savings. And now, right here we’re at my closing hour.”
“And what did you be taught, pricey?” his weeping spouse whispered.
Ed opened his eyes, seemed across the crowded room, and groaned:
“I’m not even goddamn thirsty!”
