Angela: It was only a joke. Nothing wrong with joking about dying of a heart attack. I meant no harm.
Frank: *overheard what she said* Unbelievable.
Angela: *gets a call from her mother*
Frank: She is so insensitive. I wonder how ironic it would be, if someone close to her died, after joking about dying of a heart attack?
Angela: *upset after talking to her mother*
Frank: What happened? Why the sad face?
Angela: My cousin died. *sad*
Frank: Sorry for your loss. But, you know something? You joked about dying of a heart attack, and all of a sudden, someone in your family passed away! I find that so ironic!
Angela: I can't believe my cousin is gone! *nearing tears*
Frank: Karma doesn't play around, Angela! This is what happens when you joke about death! Don't you feel right foolish? Huh?
Angela: *starts crying*
Frank: It doesn't feel so good, does it, Angela?
Angela: *choked sobs* No!
Frank: Mind if I asked how your cousin died?
Angela: *trying to speak*
Frank: Take your time.
Angela: Heart attack! *bursts out crying*
Frank: Ah, see? See? Karma! Sorry for the tough love, but this is what happens!
Angela: *sobbing hysterically* STOP IT!!!!!!
Frank: Its true, Angela! Think, next time!
Me: Karma means business!
Nk_works: Agreed!
Angela: *still sobbing hysterically*
Frank: What was your cousin's name? And, how old was she?
Angela: *choked sobs* Frederica, and she was 48!
Frank: Beautiful Italian name, if I do say so myself. May she rest in peace, and be granted entry into Heaven.
Nk_works: Amen.
Angela: *sobbing uncontrollably* Why did she have to die before her birthday, tomorrow! WHY?!!!!!! *screaming at the top of her lungs, and cries hysterically again*
SkittishReflections: Angela, why don't you go on home? You need some time to grieve.
Angela: *leaves the apartment, still sobbing hysterically*
SkittishReflections: I'll get her a sympathy card.
