A funeral

Funeral A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she 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 the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary  woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about  200 women walking single file.  

The woman was so curious that she respectfully  approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now  is a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this.   Whose funeral is it?" 

"My husband's." "What happened to him?"  The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."

She inquired further,  "Well, who is in the second hearse?"      The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."   

A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women.    "Can I borrow the dog?"   "Get in line."

 A Woman's Prayer:
     Dear Lord,
    I pray for:
    Wisdom, To understand a man.
    Love, To forgive him and;
    Patience, For his moods.
   Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength
   I'll just beat him to death.

Thanks Phyllis
