This is a moral issue as old as genesis when Cain asks if "he is his brother's keeper" and answered in the affirmative many times in the New Testament although it has been too often adhered to negatively. Rebecca Williams has given one answer in her latest blog. I have addressed that issue before but intend to repeat myself in my next posting be it today or tomorrow.
Since I most likely will have to wait to Monday to once again be able to write about the mundane issues that face this city, which requires less strain on the brain cells; I thought you might enjoy a bit of my perverted brand of humor.
Subject: 80 Year Old
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, 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 had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in
her 60's, and now in her 80's, 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."
Hahahahaha! Thanks, Doc!
