"The Poker Game" joke

Six elderly gentlemen were playing poker in the condo clubhouse, when one of them loses $500 on a single hand and drops dead from the excitement, at the table.

Showing respect for their fallen comrade, they complete their playing time standing up.

Now, who is going to tell the wife?

They draw straws, and Joe who is always a loser picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse than it is.

"Gentlemen, I'm the most discreet guy you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Just leave it to me."

He goes to the apartment, knocks on the door, the widow answers, asks what he wants.

"Your husband just lost $500."

She hollers, "He should only drop dead!"

"He did."
