    The two men had been partners in crime for more than fifty years...

    The two men had been partners in business for more than fifty years but now the partnership was about to be broken for one of them was dying. He called his friend to him and said, "I have robbed you of hundreds of pounds and before I go you must forgive me."
    "O that's all right" said the other; I poisoned you."
