The joke.

I do not own any of the characters used in this story I wrote. They belong to the people who thought of them.

One day, jesse steve mark and Amanda were in the doctors lounge having a chat. What are you going to do when you get home steve said jesse. I don't know jess, maybe cook some food. Yeah right steve you cant cook to save your life. Everyone laughed at the irony, because if steves life did depend on it, he would not live to tell the tale.

Jesse had finished his shift at the hospital where he worked. He was skipping along happily singing goldfinger. He thought back to when he was in the doctors lounge, and the funny joke he cracked about steves cooking. He loved making people laugh, but it was true steve sloan was the worst cook in the world

Mark was driving along home. He was so happy at the moment, he had a great son, and his daughter carol would be visiting him at the weekend. He thought back to when they had a break and jesse had made a joke about steves cooking. Even thinking back to it made him had to pull over to the side of the road because he was laughing so hard. Jesse travis was a funny guy.

Amanda was making dinner for herself and her two sons cj and dion. She sat them at the table and retold the tale of jesses wise crack about steves cooking earlier that day. When the laughter had faded Amanda announce lets eat.

Steve was at his house cooking his dinner. He didn't like not being able to cook dinner. He was hungry. Jesses joke had been funny but true. Steve took the pan off the cooker and put the teatowel on the cooker, not realising what he had done. The teatowel went up in flames, and the cooker exploded trapping steve inside his own house. It had knocked steve out and steve lay on the burning floor dying of smoke inhalation and bleeding.

When mark arrived home he was very shocked to see his house on fire and was very shocked steve where are you mark yelled as the fireman pulled up and started putting out the fire.

Half an hour later jesse and Amanda pulled up to marks house just as a two fireman came out carrying a body. It was steves he had died. Mark and jesse and Amanda started crying, for steve would be missed very much.

After the funeral mark and jesse and Amanda were sitting at marks new house that he had bought eating lunch and talking about steve. They were all very sad that steve had died and they all missed him quite a lot. Especially mark. Silence fell then jesse said I guess it was his cooking that killed him them I always said it would be the death of him. Mark and Amanda and jesse all looked at eachother and laughed, easing there pain. Steve was gone but he would not be forgotten, but the three of them started to get on with there lives again.

The end
