Old Farmer Johnson was on his deathbed, his family gathered around him. In a weak voice, he said to his wife, "When I'm gone, I want you to marry Farmer Jones."
"No," she replied. "I couldn't marry anyone after you."
"But I want you to," Johnson insisted.
"But why?" his wife asked, puzzled.
Johnson's final words held a bitter truth: "Because Jones once cheated me in a horse deal."
