DEAL IS OFF
Jack and the two Clarkin boys fought all through their lives. Everywhere they went – weddings, funerals, picnics, hockey games, you name it – they fought.
Then a time came when Jack became very sick and the priest decided he should make his peace with the Clarkins before he died. He instructed them to go over to see Jack, where they all shook hands and made-up.
It was a beautiful thing to see as the priest declared the feud officially over and called down God’s blessing on the three of them.
But wait, the story is not over.
As the Clarkin boys were making their way to the door Jack got up on one elbow, and in a voice shaking with emotion declared, “You realize of course if I get better this is all off.”
