You’re judging next Saturday!

anecdote, told Churchill

Two ninety year old men, Moe and Sam, have been friends all their lives. 

It seems that Sam is dying, so Moe comes to visit him. 

“Sam” says Moe, “You know how we have both loved showing and then judging Labradors all our lives. Sam, you have to do me one favour. When you go, somehow you’ve got to tell me if there’s dog shows in Heaven.” 

Sam looks up at Moe from his death bed and says “Moe, you’ve been my friend many years. This favour I’ll do for you.” And with that, Sam passes on.

It is midnight a couple of nights later. 

Moe is sound asleep when a distant voice calls out to him, “Moe, Moe..”

“Who is it?!” says Moe sitting up suddenly.

“Moe, it’s Sam.”

“Sam, is that you? Where are you?”

“I’m in Heaven,” says Sam, “and I’ve got some good news and some bad news.”

“Tell me the good news first.” says Moe.

“The good news,” says Sam “is that there are dog shows in Heaven.”

“Really?!” says Moe, “That’s wonderful! What’s the bad news?”

“You’re judging next Saturday!”

Churchill
