Another Otherland Overlap
The following joke came in an email:
***
Two women are new arrivals at the pearly gates, and
are comparing stories on how they had died.
First woman-- "I froze to death."
Second woman -- "You froze to death -- how horrible!"
First woman-- "Well, it wasn't so bad... After I quit
shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy,
and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?"
Second woman-- "I died of a massive heart attack. I
suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home
early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him
all by himself in the den, watching TV."
First woman -- "So what happened?"
Second woman- - "I was so sure there was another woman there
somewhere, that I started running all over the house looking.
I ran up into the attic and searched and down to the basement.
Then I went through every closet and checked under every bed.
I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally became
so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died."
First woman-- "Too bad you didn't look in the freezer ---
we'd both still be alive."

It was the beginning
Of a chapter entitled,
Apropos of nothing previous,
