A Man of Few Words

An old Scotsman called his local newspaper to place an obituary notice for his recently deceased wife. He told the woman taking the ad that he wanted to have only two words in the notice: "Maggie died".

The woman at the newspaper told him that he could use up to six words with punctuation and it would cost exactly the same as two words.

The man thought for a few seconds and said, "Maggie died. For sale, 1991 Volvo".
