The widow!

[DALederle]

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 early 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.

She smiled and explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

Okay, go ahead and groan. I just thought this was funny!

"I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

In the truest sense of the theatre, "Sssssssssssssssssss".

Okay, go ahead and groan. I just thought this was funny!

Nah. I laughed my fool arse off. But one still has to hiss at the pun.

Nice one, Dennis. Well up to Uncle Al's standard and eminently repeatable in dinner table company.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
