Both young ladies died of a heart attack. In Elliot's case, the ham sandwich was a lie. Her heart failure was due to a combination of an unhealthy lifestyle and bad genetics.

While Karen Carpenter did suffer from anorexia, she was mostly recovered from that. Karen was not starving at the time she died - the heart damage her earlier anorexia and bulimia caused was permanent. Her damaged heart actually couldn't support her after she gained weight. She also died by a heart attack.

A lame ass, unoriginal and played out one, but okay.

What's your problem...did I fuck your wife?

Or is it, because I didn't?

I'll assume you're a gal, so did you wear a strap-on?

But yeah, it's a classic joke and a good one and I can't believe it would offend anyone. It goes to the heart of the matter that Elliot died from obesity and Carpenter anorexia.

Also, Cass Elliot was Jewish and ham is not kosher.
