The strange funeral

[FunkyNova66]

A man was leaving the gas station with his morning coffee when he noticed an unusual funeral procession approaching the cemetery.

A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one.
Behind the second hearse was a single man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking in a single file line.

The man couldn't stand it and just had to give in to curiosity.
He respectfully approached the man 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 funeral like this.

Whose funeral is it?'

'My wife's.'

'What happened to her?'

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

He inquired further, 'But who is in the second hearse?'

The man 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.

'Can I borrow the dog?'

The man replied, 'Get in line.'
