True Love

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she still sat devotedly by his hospital bedside every single day. One day, in one of his rare waking moments, he motioned for her to come nearer. She moved close to him and whispered in his ear, 'Yes my darling, what is it?'
With tears welling in his eyes he told her, 'You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. You've stuck with me through thick and thin. When I fell overboard on our honeymoon, you raised the alarm and saved my life. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When I lost that winning lotto ticket, you consoled me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got run over, you stayed by my bedside. When we lost the house, you stayed with me. And now, with my health failing, you are still by my side. You know what?'
'What dear?'

She gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth, 'I think you're bad luck, fuck off.'
