An Interview With An 80-year-old Woman
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady
because she had just gotten married -- for the 4th 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 3
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'd first
married a banker when she was in her early 20s, then a
circus ringmaster when in her 40s, later on a preacher when
in her 60s, and now in her 80s, a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked
why she had married 4 men with such diverse careers.
She smiled and explained, 'I married 1 for the money, 2
for the show, 3 to get ready, and 4 to go.'
