Uncle John's Birthday

My mom has three siblings living. Two live close enough to get together every once and a while. They three of them wanted to get together to
celebrate my uncle John's birthday.
We decided to crash the party at the Olive Garden, so that they could meet Vivi.

Uncle John is a ham. He told some funny jokes while we were eating. One went like this. There was an old man who was very ill. So ill, in fact, that the doctor said he wouldn't live through the night. Late that night, he smelled something delicious in the air. He managed to get out of his bed and crawl across the room and down the stairs. He made it to the kitchen somehow and saw that his wife was making cookies. As he reached up to grab a cookie, his wife smacked his hand with the spatula and said, "Don't eat those! They are for the funeral!"
