Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces.

The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.

First body: "Pierre Dubois, a Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his 24-year old mistress. Hence the enormous smile, Inspector," says the Coroner.

Second body: "Hamish Campbell, a Scotsman, 25, won £50,000 on the lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of excess alcohol consumption, hence the smile."

The Inspector asked, 'What about the third body?'

'Ah,' says the coroner, 'this is the most unusual one. Paddy Murphy, an Irishman,30, struck by lightning.'

'Why is he smiling then?' inquires the Inspector

'Thought he was having his picture taken.' :-D

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
