Irish Funeral

Thanks for the joke, Ed B.

An Irish woman was leaving a convenience store with her espresso when she noticed a most unusual Irish funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one.

Behind the second hearse was a solitary Irish woman walking a dog on a leash.

Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.

The woman couldn't stand the curiosity. She respectfully approached the Irish woman 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 Irish funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"

"My husband's"

"What happened to him?"

"He yelled at me and my dog attacked and killed him."

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

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

A very poignant and touching moment of Irish sisterhood and silence passed between the two women..

"Can I borrow the dog?"

The woman replied, "Get in line."
