A woman was in town for the Boxing Day sales.

She began her day finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and
a beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third everything had
just been reduced to just $5 when her mobile phone rang. It was a
female doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a
terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.

The woman told the doctor to tell her husband that she was shopping in
Bourke Street and that she'd be there as soon as possible.

As she hung up she realised she was leaving what was shaping up to be
her best day ever in the shops. She decided to get in a couple more
shops before heading to the hospital. She ended up shopping for the
rest of the morning, finishing her trip with a cup of coffee and a
beautiful complimentary cake at the last shop. She was jubilant. Then
she remembered her husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital.
She saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband's
condition.

The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished
your shopping trip didn't you? I hope you're proud of yourself! While
you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself in town, your
husband has been languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It's just as
well you went ahead and finished, because it will be more than likely
the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest of his life he will
require round the clock care. And you'll now be his carer!'

The woman was feeling so guilty she broke down and sobbed...........



































The lady doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just pulling your leg.
He's dead. Let's see what you bought?'
