Strength before death

After the umpteenth attempt
Uncle Angelo, is, at long last,
breathing his final breath.

Meanwhile... overwhelmed by the wafting cooking aromas from the kitchen,
and all too aware of his predicament, the stricken Capo crawls to the kitchen
and discovers hundreds of litlle gingerbread men !!

He reaches out to take one :
the last thing he will ever taste

*Baff*
His wife thwacks him with a spatula
"They're for the funeral"
