Unfortunately, Shmuel's wife Hetty passes away during the night. As is the Jewish custom for speedy burials, Shmuel immediately phone's Yankel, a member of the chevrah kedushah (burial society).
Yankel awakens somewhat disoriented. "Hello!!! What time is it? Oy gevalt, it's 3am."
"Yankel," says Shmuel, "this is Shmuel Rosen. My wife has just died and I need the chevrah kedushah to deal with her body."
"Shmuel," says Yankel, "you're having a bad dream. We buried your wife 3 years ago."
"You don't understand," says Shmuel, "I remarried last year."
"You got married again?" says Yankel. "I didn't know this. Mazel Tov!"
