Ahmed ran into his friend Asaad. After exchanging greetings and catching up, Ahmed asked, "How’s your dad doing?
"Asaad replied, "Oh, man... he actually passed away. God bless his soul.
"Ahmed gasped, "Oh no! Way to break my heart... How did he die?
"Asaad said, "Well, you know he retired from his government job, right? He sat around for a couple of months with nothing to do, so he finally decided to buy a minibus to work as a driver. One day, while he was driving, he got an emergency call. He slammed on the gas, sped up like crazy, lost control, and crashed straight into a concrete wall!
"Ahmed interrupted, "Oh my God! Did he die in the crash?!
"Asaad replied, "Nah, man, he didn't. We rushed him to the hospital, and it cost us about seven grand to get him fixed up. But the minibus was a total write-off.
"Ahmed asked, "Damn... so what did he do after that?
"Asaad said, "Nothing. He just sat at home, drinking and partying every night. One night, the power went out. He wanted to keep the party going, so he lit a candle and placed it right next to the curtains. The curtains caught fire, and the whole damn house burned to the ground!
"Ahmed cried out, "No way! So he survived the crash just to burn alive?
!"Asaad replied, "Nah, man. We dragged him out, took him to the hospital, and it cost us another seven grand to treat his burns. But the house was completely ruined
."Ahmed asked, "Man, that’s rough... Where did you guys go after that?
"Asaad answered, "Well, we had a small farmhouse out in the countryside, so we moved there. One day, the old man wanted to make some tea over a wood fire. He lit the fire, but it got out of hand, and the entire farm and the house burned down!
"Ahmed, losing his mind, said, "Oh for God's sake! Don't tell me he burned to death this time?!"
Asaad: "Nah, man... we just took him out back and shot him."
"Asaad replied, "Oh, man... he actually passed away. God bless his soul.
