One for the Money

Regardless of one's age, you simply should always plan ahead:

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'd 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."
