4 Times Married
4 Husbands
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady
because she
had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about
what it felt
like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new
husband's
occupation.
"He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the
newsman
thought.
He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little
about her
first three husbands and what they did for a living. She
paused for a few
moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After
a short time,
a smile came to her face and she answered proudly,
explaining that she had
first married
a banker when she was in her 20's,
then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and
a preacher when in her 60's, and now
- in her 80's - a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked
why she had
married four men with such diverse careers.
(Wait for it)
She smiled and explained, "I married ONE for
the money, TWO for the show, THREE to get ready,
and FOUR to go!!!!"
(Oh, just hush-up and send this one on to somebody
who needs a laugh.)
