Six retired gentlemen were playing high stakes poker 🍷🧉🍹🍻🍺

During an especially high-stakes game, a member of the group, Ron, lost $5,000 on a single hand,
clutched his chest and dropped dead at the table from a heart attack.

Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five finished playing the hand standing up.
Abraham looked around and asked, "So, who's going to tell his wife?"

They cut the cards, and Saul 'won' the dubious honour of delivering the sad news. They advised
him to be discreet, be gentle, not to make a bad situation any worse.

"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name," he says, "Leave it to me."

Saul went over to Ron's apartment and knocked on the door, Ron's wife quickly answered.

When she saw Saul standing there she said;
"What do you want, Saul? Where's my good-for-nothing husband!!?"

Saul paused, thinking of how to tell her what happened.

"Ron just lost $5,000 playing poker," he said, "He's afraid to come home."

"WHAT?!?" She screamed, "Tell that son-of-a-bitch to drop dead!"

"Can do!" replied Saul.
