"Have you ever cheated on me?"
A man on his deathbed asks his wife if she has been unfaithful during their 50-year marriage. She admits to three instances of infidelity, each for what she considers a good reason.
Martha recounts the first time she was unfaithful, explaining that she sought help from a banker to save their home from foreclosure. The second time was when she convinced a doctor to perform life-saving surgery for free when they couldn't afford it.
Henry forgives Martha for these acts of infidelity, understanding the dire circumstances that led her to make those decisions. Curious, he asks about the third time, prompting Martha to recall a situation involving a golf club election.
Humorously, Martha reveals that the third instance of infidelity was when she secured 73 extra votes for Henry's golf club presidential election. This lighthearted revelation brings some levity to the conversation between the couple on Henry's deathbed.
