Six old retired guys sat playing poker at Gerry's house one night when Rocco loses $600 in a single hand.  At the shock of this he clutches his chest and drops dead from a heart attack.

Tony says "Who's going to tell his wife."

None of them want this horrible job so they cut the pack and the lowest card loses and has to tell her.

Ronald draws the lowest card and they tell him to be discreet and gentle when he tells her.

Ronald says "Discreet.  I am the most discreet person you'll ever meet.  Discretion is my middle name.  Leave it to me, no problem."

Ronald knocks on Rocco's door and his wife answers "What do you want."

Ronald replies "I'm sorry to have to tell you this but your husband just lost $600 playing cards and is afraid to come home.   He's asked me to come over here and apologize to you."

Rocco's wife goes crazy and screams "You tell him I said drop dead".

Ronald doesn't bat an eyelid and says "Okay, I'll tell him".
