Six retired Long Islanders, now living in Boca Raton Florida (where most of Long Island resides), were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Murray loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing standing up.
Frank looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna tell his wife?" They cut the cards. Harry picks the two of clubs and has to carry the news.
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.
"Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me."
Harry goes over to Murray 's apartment and knocks on the door. The wife answers thru the door and asks what he wants?
Harry declares: "Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home."
"Tell him to drop dead!" yells the wife.
"I'll go tell him." says Harry.
