> "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 had first married a banker when in her 20's, then 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.
>
> She smiled and explained. "I married one for the money, two for the show,
> three to get ready, and four to go."
