Sensitive
-
So this guy falls off some scaffolding at work and dies. The gaffer gathers the men round. "I need a volunteer to tell Charlie's wife he's dead. It'll need to be somebody that's a bit sensitive that can break the news gently." And they're all looking at each other and shrugging. "Don't look at me. I'm no good at that sort of thing." Eventually one bloke says "OK I'll go. Give me the address." The Gaffer sends him on his way saying "Now remember. Sensitive and gentle" An hour later the guy comes back with six cans of beer. "Where'd you get the cargo?" asks the Gaffer. "Charlie's wife" "She gave you six cans of beer because you told her her man was dead?" "Well not exactly. When She answered the door I said 'Hullo, you'll be Charlie's widow then?' and she said 'I'm not a widow.' and I said 'Do you want to bet a six pack on that?'"
