Six retired Edgware men were playing poker one evening in Abe's house when Shlomo loses $650 on one big hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. The other five continue playing but this time standing up to show respect for their departed friend.
Later, Abe asks, "Who's going to tell his wife, Hette?"
They cut cards and Moishe loses. Before he leaves, he is advised to be discreet and kind and to try hard not to make a terrible situation any worse.
"Discreet?" says Moishe, "I'm the most discreet man there is. Discretion is my middle name. Just leave it to me and don't worry about a thing."
So Moishe goes over to Shlomo's house and rings the doorbell.
Hette opens the door and asks, "Nu, so what do you want?"
Moishe replies, "Your husband just lost $650 and is afraid to come home."
On hearing this, Hette yells, "SO TELL HIM HE SHOULD DROP DEAD."
"OK I'll go tell him," says Moishe.
