For some reason can't post in the Jokes forum so here goes;
Mrs Cohen rings up the Jewish Chronicle. Says to woman;
"Mrs Cohen here. My husband has died and I want to place an announcement."
Telephonist at other end asks, "Go on, dictate it."
Mrs Cohen replies, "Put 'Cohen is dead.'"
Telephonist pauses then says, "That's a bit short, isn't it?"
Mrs Cohen replies, "Ah yes, but I don't want to spend more than I have to."
The telephonist laughed and said, "Mrs Cohen, our minimum price covers six words so you might as well make it a bit longer."
Mrs Cohen paused and thought then replied, "Ok, change it to 'Cohen is dead. Volvo for sale.'"
