having a fit!

[BruceS]

I was in the pub last night telling my mate the joke about, “What would you do if an epileptic was having a fit in the bath....throw the washing in." However, the bloke on the next table said, My brother who is epileptic had a fit in the bath and died."
Fuck me. If the ground could have swallowed me up I'd of been happy. I said, “Sorry to hear that, mate. Did he drown?"
He said, "No; he choked on a sock."
