A man was leaving for his office in the 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 behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a
pit bull on a leash. Behind him were 200 men walking in a single
line.
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."
