From an e-mail:
Subject: Fourth Time
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 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."
