A Scottish woman goes to the local newspaper office to see that the obituary
for her recently deceased husband is published.
The obit editor informs her that there is a charge of 50 cents per word.
She pauses, reflects and then she says. Well then, let it read "Angus
MacPherson died."
Amused at the woman's thrift, the editor tells her that there is a seven
word minimum for all obituaries.
She thinks it over and in a few seconds says, In that case, let it read.....
"Angus MacPherson died. Golf clubs for sale."
