Joke of the Week :-D
Three elderly women met at the coffee shop every week without fail for coffee, cigarettes, and conversation. One Saturday, Doris announced she was giving up smoking for her health. "I survived cancer of the uterus," she said, "and I'm not taking any more chances." Even after hearing Doris's revelation Edith lit up her cigarette. "Aren't you afraid of getting cancer of the uterus?" asked Hazel. "Oh, no, dear," Edith replied, without batting an eye. "I don't inhale that far down."
