— heard on the web —

I had a major argument with my girlfriend, Helen. I was in the wrong,
but not enough to back down without an argument.

So after storming away, and cooling off, I had a think. I was clearly
in the wrong and felt pretty guilty, with all the trauma it had caused.
So to make it up to Helen, I said I’d buy her a gift.

"Any thing at all, my love", I said, overcome with remorse.

"Oh, I don’t know", replied Helen,"You really shouldn’t do this you
know. But, if you are, just get me something really expensive, that I
don’t need."

The following day I booked her in for chemotherapy.
