80-year-old woman marries for the fourth time

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married again 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 20s, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40s, later on 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.

She smiled and explained: “I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go.”

Good one!

Bloody Hell! A clean Coverdale joke…almost as rare as a Coverdale song without the word “Love” in the title ;-) Love ya DC!!

No wonder Coverdale’s in a good mood these days. Not everyone gets into the Top 10 Albums chart without major backing. Decent music lives forever.

Definatley one of his better ones!

Four foreign legionnaires lost in the desert. No food, no water, no hope. The sergeant sets his troop a task each day to keep them going. One day he picks out the largest sand dune they’ve seen.

We will climb it or die trying he says and off he charged. At the top he sees a tree with bacon hanging off the branches. Salvation he cries. As he nears the tree a shot rings out and with his dying breath he said, its not a bacon tree it is an ambush!

Good job, Cov, that’s the best one yet!
