Death By Gas

This story is from True Doctor Stories. It has nothing to do with the liver, but it has everything to do with laughter:

One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart." ~ Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada
