The Funeral
A man was leaving his favorite coffee house one morning 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 apart. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
The man couldn't stand his curiosity, so he approached the man walking the dog and said,
"I am sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but this is the damndest funeral procession I've ever seen! Whose funeral is it?"
"My wife's."
"What happened to her?"
The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."
He inquired further, "Well, 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."
After a dreadfully long, awkward moment of silence (and consideration) had passed between the two men...... the inquiring man asked, "Can I borrow the dog?"
The man answered, "Get in line."
