The local news station was interviewing an 84 year old lady who had just got 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," thought the interviewer. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him about her first three husbands and what they had done for a living. She paused for a few moments, reflecting back over the years.
After a while, she smiled and said proudly that she had married a banker in her twenties, a circus ringmaster in her forties, a preacher in her sixties, and now in her eighties, a funeral director.
The interviewer looked at her in astonishment, and asked her 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!"
