I will never hear church bells ringing
again without smiling…..
Upon hearing that my elderly grandfather
had just passed away, I went straight to my grandparent's house to visit my 95 year-old grandmother
and comfort her. When I asked how my
grandfather had died, my grandmother replied, "He
had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday
morning." Horrified, I told my grandmother
that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex
would surely be asking for trouble.
"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many
years ago, realizing our advanced age, we
figured out the best time to do it was when the church
bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm.
Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous,
simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."
She paused to wipe away a tear, and continued,
"He'd still be alive if the ice cream
truck hadn't come along."
