Four Husbands Are Better Than One: Each For A Purpose All Their Own!

The local new station was interviewing an 84-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 84, 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 upon all those years.

After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she first married a banker in her early 20s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40s, later on a preacher in her 60s, and now, in her 80s, 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!”
