An 80-year old lady was being interviewed by the local news station
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, 'Would you mind telling me a little about your
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, 'I first married a banker when I was in my early 20's, then a
circus ringmaster when in my 40's, later on a preacher when in my
60's,
and now, in my 80's, a funeral director.'
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked, 'Why did
you
marry 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!'
