The old bride




The local news station was interviewing an 84-year old lady because she had just gotten married - for the forth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying at the age of 84, and then about her new husband's occupation.

- He is a funeral director - she answered.
- Interesting - the newsman replied.

He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for living.
She paused for a little moment, 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 was first married to a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when she was in her 40's, later to a preacher when she was 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.

- Easy son, - she smiled, - I married one for the money...two for the show....three to get ready...and four to go!
