The phone rang in the obituary department of the local
newspaper.
'How much does it cost to have an obituary printed'? Asked Mr.Santa.
'It's 100 Rupees a word, sir,' the clerk replied politely.
'Fine,' said Santa after a moment. 'Okay then, write this down: 'Banta's wife dead'.'
'That's all?' asked the clerk disbelievingly.
'That's it.'
'I'm sorry sir, I should have told you - there's a six word minimum.'
'Yes, you should've,' snapped Santa.

Now let me think a minute...
