Not wishing to intrude, he continues on with his beat but returns the same way to check up on the man.
On his return he sees that the man is now openly sobbing so he decides he must get involved.
The old chap is ready to talk.
"My problems started ten years ago when I lost my dear wife who had been with me for fifty years.
I thought my world had come to an end until I met my present wife who is the apple of my eye.
She is the world's greatest cook.........
She looks fantastic for her age...........
She is a wonderful housekeeper and has taken charge of all our financial affairs.
She caters for my every whim including even matters that I can't even discuss with a stranger.
She is the best thing that ever happened to me in all of my life"
"Fine", said the copper, "but why the tears ?"
