An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed.

An elderly Irishman lay dying in his bed.
While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled
the aroma of his favourite cheese scones wafting up the stairs. He
gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed.
Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the
bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with
both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned
against the door frame and gazed into the kitchen.
Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already
in heaven, for here, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table
were dozens of his favourite cheese scones.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his
devoted Irish wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table,
landing on his knees in a rumpled posture
His parched lips parted, he could almost taste the cheese scone
before it was in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.
The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to the nearest scone
at the edge of the table, when his hand was suddenly smacked with a
spatula by his wife..
.
"Bugger off! "she said, "they're for the funeral!"
