Now Jane happened to have a sister called Karen who was married to
a man called Gerald. They had one five year old son called Michael. One
day, not long after the terrible incident with the cursed baby crib,
Gerald came back late from work after a long meeting and, as he was
passing Michaels bedroom, he happened to overhear him saying his prayers...
"God bless Mummy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma, GOODBYE Grandpa".
Well Gerald didn't think much of this thinking it was only one of Michaels
little jokes. You can imagine how upset he was, then, when Michaels Grandpa
was found dead in the spare bedroom the next day.

After a few months, Gerald had all but forgotten Michaels little prediction. He
had arrived back late after a small party at work and was passing Michaels
bedroom when he overheard him say .. "God bless Mummy, God bless Daddy,
GOODBYE Grandma". Sure enough, the next day Michaels Grandma was found dead
in her bed.

After another few months, Gerald had returned late after flying back from
an exhibition. As he was passing Michaels bedroom, he heard him say
"God bless Mummy, GOODBYE Daddy". Well Gerald was terrified. The next day
he walked to work in case he got involved in a car crash. He had no lunch
in case he got food poisoning. He locked himself in his office in case
some mad homicidal maniac tryed to murder him. In short, he did everything
possible to ensure that he survived the day.

Miraculously, by the end of the day Gerald was still alive. He walked 
home and was surprised to see a couple of police cars parked outside his
house. "What happened", he said to his wife, Karen. "Oh, the Mailman
dropped dead on the doorstep this morning", replied Karen.
