Question

Jack is a 77 year old retired bank executive. During the last 15 years of his employment he played golf regularly and frequently met with 'the boys' after the last hole for dinner and drink. Jack retired 5 years ago at age 68. Since his wife passed away 2 years ago, Jack has found his golfing outings to be more important than ever. Last month Jack had a right knee replacement that 'went wrong." His incision became infected and he had to have the procedure redone.

Last week when his nurse visited and asked if he needed anything, Jack replied "I need a fifth of whiskey and a handgun."
