The local news station was interviewing an 85-year-old lady
because she had just married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked
her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying
again at 85, 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, then a preacher when in
her 60's, and now in her 80's, the funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had
married four men with such diverse careers.
She smiled and patiently explained, " I married one for the money, two
for the show, three to get ready,now four to go."
