Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an un-

happy marriage, a young husband decided to

solve both problems by taking out a large

insurance policy on his wife with himself

as the beneficiary, & then arranging to

have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with

a nefarious dark-side underworld figure

who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie

then explained to the husband

that his going price for snuffing

out a spouse was $5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that

amount, but that he wouldn't have any

cash on hand until he could collect

his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something

up front, so the man opened his wallet,

displaying the single dollar bill that

rested inside.

Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly

agreed to accept the dollar as down

payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife

to the local Super Wal-Mart store. There, he

surprised her in the produce department

& proceeded to strangle her with his

gloved hands & as the poor

unsuspecting woman drew

her last breath & slumped

to the floor.

The manager of the produce department stumbled

unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to

leave any living witnesses behind, ol'Artie had no

choice but to strangle the produce manager

as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings

were captured by the hidden security cameras &

observed by the store's security guard, who

immediately called the police.

Artie was caught & arrested before he could even

leave the store. Under intense questioning at the

police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid

plan, including his unusual financial arrange-

ments with the hapless husband who was

also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper,

the headline declared ...

(You're going to hate me for this ... )

'ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A DOLLAR

AT WAL-MART!'

 

Wow, that IS a lame joke!
