Have you ever said anything that back fired on you?

Just distance talking at the builders merchant when I said it will be just me and the wife on our own Christmas Day, as it’s the daughters turns to go to their other halves mum.

The security man said I’ll be on my own this Christmas, the wife won’t be with me again!

I said, How did you mange that? As you jest.


He said, she died A couple of weeks ago!

Oops.
