Kathy had just become a widow and needed to put an obituary in the paper about her late husband, Bubba.

She called the newspaper and asked, "how much to put an obituary in the paper?"

"The cost is $0.50 per word," said the newspaper editor.

"Fine, please print "Bubba died."

The startled newspaper editor explained that there was a 7 word minimum charge.

Kathy thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, then, please print 'Bubba died. 1983 pickup truck for sale.'"
