The Funeral

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when
he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby
cemetery.


A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50
feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary
man walking a dog on a leash.


Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single
file.


The man couldn ' t stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the
man walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I
know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I ' ve never seen a funeral
like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My wife ' s."

"What happened to her?"

The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."

He inquired further, "But, who is in the second hearse?"

The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my
wife when the dog turned on her."

A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two
men.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."
