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