Husbands…

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 quest…ions 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."
