Sad about the wife...

[nomadpete]

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he

 

noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby

 

cemetery.

 

 

 

A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 feet

 

behind the first.

 

 

 

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 his curiosity.

 

 

 

He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and 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 and killed her."

 

 

 

He inquired further, "But there's a second hearse."

 

 

 

The man answered, "It's my mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife.

 

when the dog turned on her too."

 

 

 

A very poignant and touching moment of brotherhood and silence,

 

passed between the two men.

 

 

 

"Can I borrow the dog?"

 

 

 

The man replied, "Get in line."
