"Hello Mary," said Sean. "I've got some bad news for you.
There's been a terrible accident down at the brewery and Pat is dead."
"Oh no, my poor husband!" sobbed Mary as she collapsed on the ground. "What happened?"
"It wasn't a pretty sight," sighed Sean. "Pat fell into a huge vat of Guinness and I'm afraid he drowned."
"Aaagh!" wept Mary and for some minutes nothing more was said. Eventually, Mary roused herself and said to Sean. "I hope it was all over quickly?"
"I'm afraid not. He came out four times to take a pee."
