> "How are you! We've been waiting for you!" "Good to see you."

> "Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her.
> "I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were
> ill. And then I won the lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived
> in and bought a big mansion. And my wife and I traveled all around the
> world. We were on vacation and I went water skiing today. I fell, the
> ski hit my head, and here I am. How do I get in?"
