In Over My Head

A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he 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. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file. The man was overcome with curiosity. 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?"

"My wife's."

"What happened to her?"

The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."

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

"My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her."

A moment of silence passed.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."
