Steve, Bob and Jeff are working on a very high scaffolding. Suddenly,
Steve falls off. He is killed instantaneously. After the ambulance leaves
with Steve's body, Bob and Jeff realize they'll have to inform his wife.

Bob says he's good at this sort of sensitive stuff, so he volunteers to do
the job.

After two hours he returns, carrying a box of Pop Tarts. "So did you tell
her?" asks Jeff. "Yep", replies Bob. "Say, where did you get the Pop Tarts?"

Bob informs Jeff. "She gave them to me."

"WHAT??" exclaims Jeff, "you just told her her husband died and she gave
you Pop Tarts??"

"Sure," Bob says. "WHY?" asks Jeff. "Well," Bob continues, "when she
answered the door, I asked her, 'are you Steve's widow?' 'Widow?', she
said, 'no, no, you're mistaken, I'm not a widow!' So I said: "I'll bet you
a box of Pop Tarts you ARE!'"
