An 80 year old lady was being interviewed by the local news station
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 her 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."
