A man is on his deathbed and is reflecting upon his life. He decides to confess to his wife about his affair and come clean.

With great effort he calls his wife and begins, “Dear, I don’t know how long I have to live. I want to tell you the truth.” Taking in a deep breath he continues, “I haven’t been entirely faithful with you during our marriage. You know Betty, your best friend. I have had an affair with her for quite some time.”

Talking becomes more difficult and he manages, “I am sorry and I hope that you can find it in you to forgive me.”

The wife places her hand over the husband and gently calms him, “Now, Now. Don’t strain yourself. I know about the affair. That is the reason why I poisoned you.”
