> 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 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 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 first married a banker when

> she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster

> when in her 40's, later on 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.

>

> She smiled and explained, "I married one for the

> money, two for the show, three to get ready, and

> four to go."
