Saved by an unknown "Belle".

This is too risque for another web-site which also lacks this Site's warm humour.

Senior Policeman.

So, madam, despite the fact that you and your husband were always warring and you had made threats on his life and as a consequence of his death the Insurance Money will make you a wealthy woman, you want me to believe that his death was acidental?

 Widow

Yes.

 
Senior Policeman.

But he was suffocated in the marital bed.


Widow's Lawyer

That is yet to be coroborated by the Pathologist's evidence. Can you tell me what evidence you have to support your assertion that the relationship was violent.

 
Senior Policeman.



We have several witnesses who state that they often heard the woman shrieking, screaming and shouting that she, one day would get what was her just desserts, even if she might kill him in the attempt.



Widow's Lawyer

I would have to say the noises that my client will admit she made; though
evidence of a physical assault,  would have been one  that was likely to have resulted in serious bodily good.


Now; Come on my dear, out with it, you're not doing yourself any good by prevaricating. I know you're shy.

 Widow

My husband could never saisfy me, so I suggested that we did something unusual. He suggested "Cunning Linguists". I told him I was in no mood for Word Games. Then he explained what it meant.


So we gave it a try. I got carried away and it was only when I got off, that I realised he was dead. You see Riga Mortis had set in. It had been a long session.



2nd Policeman.

Excuse me sir for bursting into the Interview Room but I've got the pathologist's report. The findings are on Page 8 just above the Footnotes.


Senior Policeman.


Right thank you Sergeant, if you two will excuse me, I'll just peruse this document.

OK madam you can go. The cause of death was not from suffocation.

Your late husband choked on an Auburn fur ball. So it was natural causes



Widow's Lawyer

But my client's a natural blonde.

Senior Policeman

Oh well, OK, Death by Misadventure then.

Good to see you back Brian, but I've got to be honest and say it's not your best work. Enjoyed the joke but I'm not sure it's enough to carry the piece through. 
 
What a way to go though. There's another piece hidden in here: 101 ways to die. 
 
Stick around, Phil.

Are we past the watershed?Oh good, you're all right then.

Not tickled my laughter buds with this one I'm afraid. Bit of a lame joke after all that build up, and the other other attempt at humour prior to the punchline was the over-used Cunning Linguist 'gag'. 
 
Better luck next time.
