THE FUNERAL PROCESSION

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 & said, "I am so sorry
for your loss, and this may be 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 & 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?"

The man replied, "Get in line."
