Messes To Masterpieces

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady 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.  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.
