Frustration is when you have ulcers... but still aren't a success.

The 84 year old bride The local news station was interviewing a 84 year old lady because she had just gotten married – for the fourth time. The interviewer ask her questions about her life, and what it felt like getting married again at 84 and then about her new husband’s occupation. “ He’s a funeral director “ she answered. “ Interesting “, the newsman thought. He then ask her if she wouldn’t mind telling him a little about her 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 first married a banker when she was in her 20’s, then a circus ringmaster when she was in her 40’s, later on a preacher when she was in her 60’s, and no now in her 8o’s a funeral director. The interviewer looked at her, quiet astonished, and ask why she had married four men with such diverse careers. “ Easy son, “ she smiled. “ I married one for the money, …two for the show,…three to get ready,….and four to go !
