The news interviewed an 80-year-old lady who had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life and what it felt like to be marrying again at 80. Then he asked about her new husband and what he did for a living.
She replied, “He’s a funeral director.”
The reporter thought that was interesting and asked her about her previous husbands.
“So what did your first husband do for a living?”
“Oh,” she said, “he was a banker.”
“And your second husband?”
“He was a circus ringmaster.”
“And your third husband?”
“He was a preacher.”
The interviewer was curious about the unusual combination and asked,
“Why those professions?”
The old woman smiled and replied:
“Well… one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready… and four to go.”
