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."
