Four Husbands

Four Husbands



A local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just married for the fourth time.

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, and what it felt like to be marrying again at 80.
He asked what her new husband's occupation was.
"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 her first husband was a banker when
she was in her 20s, followed by 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."
