Be careful what you wish for because the truth cuts like a knife.
Tom was one happy man when he woke up this morning. Today his daughter Joan turned eighteen, and it was the last alimony payment he would have to pay his ex-wife Jill. So Tom called his daughter Joan to wish her a happy birthday, and ask her to come over to his house. When Joan arrived, Tom handed her a check and told her to take it to her mother Jill, and to tell her mother that for seventeen long years he had been paying her sorry butt alimony every month, and today was the last check she would ever be getting from him.
Tom then asked Joan to come back and tell him what the expression was on her mother’s face when she told her what Tom had said. So Joan went to do what her father had asked of her while Tom was walking the floors smiling and laughing while waiting for his daughter Joan to return. After being gone for thirty minutes, Joan returned and Tom eagerly met her at the door. What did she say, what did she say, and what kind of look was on her face. Mom told me to tell you that you wasn’t really my dad, and to come back home and tell her what expression you had on your face. Tom died of a heart attack right where he stood.
