| Ken and Bob are fishing in a boat under the Rio Grande bridge.
Bob looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge. He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head.

I didn’t know you had it in you.” Bob responds, “Well, I guess it was the thing to do – after all, I was married to her for 50 years.” |
