A man went to church and saw his best friend crying there. "What happened? What could be so bad?" "My mother died yesterday," he sobbed. "Oh my God! Not Mrs. C. How did that happen?" "Well, it was hot yesterday, so we all had our beds on the balcony and we were sleeping. My mother rolled over and fell off." "Oh God, so that's how she died?"
