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 one. 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.
He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know this is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"
Man with the dog replied, "My wife's."
The man asked, "What happened to her?"
Man with the dog replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."
The man inquired further, "But who is in the second hearse?"
Man with the dog 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 passed between the two men.
The man asked, "Can I borrow the dog?"
Man with the dog replied, "Get in line."
