On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her.

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."

Horrified1, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.

"Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring.

It was just the right rhythm2. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous3, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."

She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned4 ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"
