A husband and wife are on the 9th green when suddenly she collapses from a heart attack!

"Help me dear," she groans to her husband.

The husband calls 999 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks up his putter, and lines up his putt.

His wife raises her head off the green and stares at him.

"I'm dying here, and you're putting?"

"Don't worry dear," says the husband calmly, "they found a doctor on the second hole, and he's coming to help you".

"Well, how long will it take for him to get here?" she asks feebly.

"No time at all," says her husband. "Everybody's already agreed to let him play through."

That one reminds me a little of when I spoke with a neighbour some time ago and she told me her husband had recently passed away.
After giving my condolences I asked her what had happened.
She said he’d gone out to their vegetable patch to get a cabbage for their tea and had fallen flat on his face.
I said, I’m so sorry, whatever did you do?
She replied. I opened a tin of peas.
