JOKE of the day: A dead man’s credit

Laughter is the best medicine, and South Africans could undoubtedly do with a dose of the giggles these days!

A dead man’s credit

I tried having my mother’s phone disconnected, but the customer-service rep told me that since the account was in my dad’s name, he’d have to be the one to put in the request.

The fact that he’d been dead for 40 years didn’t sway her.

Then a solution hit me: “If I stop paying the bill, you can turn off the service, right?” “Well, yes,” she said reluctantly.

“But that would ruin his credit.”
