A Special Treat For Y'all This Morning

Abby was standing on the floor beside my bed this morning, barking and whining at me, the one who has to work everyday in order to pay for her Kibbles 'n Bits. At 5:30. My alarm doesn't start its intrusive beeping until 6:30. Now, I'm not a mathmatician, but I think that's ONE HOUR of sleep from which I'm being deprived. I had to get up and let her out and was too angry to go back to sleep. Since I was already awake, I thought I'd start cleaning out my old e-mails and I came across my Favorite Joke of All Time. Yeah, you can thank Abby for waking me, otherwise you wouldn't get to read the following and laugh your head off today! Have a good day:

My Favorite Joke

A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she 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 woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.

The woman was so curious that she respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My husband's."

"What happened to him?"

The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."

She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"

The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."

A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.

"May I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."
