An elderly couple awakens one morning, nestled in bed after a restful night’s sleep. As the husband reaches out to touch her hand, she recoils, saying, “Please don’t touch me.”
Perplexed, he queries, “Why not?” Her response is blunt: “Because I’m deceased.” Astounded, he argues,
“But we’re both here, conversing in bed.” However, she remains steadfast, asserting, “No, I
assure you, I am dead.” Undeterred, he presses, “How can you possibly believe that?” Her reasoning is simple: “Because when I woke up this morning, I felt no pain.”
