- 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?d first married a
banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster
when in her 40's, later on 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.
- She
smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for
the show, three to get ready, and four to go."
