4th marriage at 80

[Dot]

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."

Reminded me of the 90 year old man about to marry a 16 year old girl. The concerned family suggested he speak to his doctor.
The doctor said: "Do you realize that this could be fatal?"

The old man replied, "Oh well! - If she dies, she dies".
