A man tells a friend that he had three wives pass away.

A man is talking with a friend and reveals to him that his last three wives had passed away.

"That's terrible! What caused them to pass away?" The friend asked, sympathetically.

"Well," says the man, "my first wife ate poison mushrooms and died from that. Then, my second wife found the poison mushrooms in the refrigerator, ate them and died as well. My third wife, however, died from a fractured skull."

Taken aback, the friend replies, "A fractured skull? How on earth did that happen?"

The man gets visibly frustrated and answers, "Well, she refused to eat the poison mushrooms!"
