Frances Very Bad Jokes FOUR HUSBANDS The local radio station was interviewing an 80 year old lady because she had just 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 over her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a Banker when she was in her 20s, then a Circus Ringmaster when in her 40s, and a Preacher when in her 60s, and now in her 80s a Funeral Director. The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. (Wait for it!) She smiled and explained: I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.
