Interview with an 80-year-old Woman
The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old
lady because she had just gotten married — for the 4th 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.’
