When her lawyer husband passed away, the wife put the usual death notice in the newspaper, but added that her husband had died of gonorrhea.

Once the daily newspapers had been delivered, a good friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, "You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea."

Replied the lawyer's widow, "Yes, I know that he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big sh** that he really was!"
