THE FOURTH MARRIAGE
A woman married three times walked into a bridal shop one day and told
the
sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth
wedding.
"Of course, madam," replied the sales clerk, "exactly what type and color
dress are you looking for?"
The bride to be said, "A long, frilly, white dress with a veil."
The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, "Please don't take this the
wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for
brides who are being married the first time, for those who are a bit more
innocent, if you know what I mean. Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be
nice."
"Well," replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness,
"I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate.
"Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as a
first-time bride.
"You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding, he died as
we
were checking into our hotel."
"My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on
our
way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and
never spoke to each other again."
"What about your third husband?" asked the sales clerk.
"That one was a Democrat," said the woman, "and every night for four
years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was
going to be, but nothing ever happened."
