A man was leaving a 7-11 with his morning coffee and newspaper 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. Behind the second hearse was a solitary
man walking a pitbull on a leash. Behind him were 200 men walking
single file.
The guy couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the
man walking the dog and said "Sir, I know now is a bad time to disturb
you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
The man replied "Well, that first hearse is for my wife." "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." A poignant and thoughtful moment of
silence passes between the two men.
"Sir, could I borrow that dog?"
"Get in line."
