Discretion
Six retired Floridians were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table.
Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing standing up.
Babcock looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna tell his wife?"
They decide to cut the cards. Messier picks the two of clubs and has to deliver the news. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation worse.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me."
Messier goes over to the Meyerwitz apartment and knocks on the door.
The wife opens the door and asks what he wants.
Messier declares: "Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home."
"Tell him to drop dead!" says the wife.
Says Messier: "I'll tell him." .
