The Procession.

Jim was outside raking leaves when he saw a funeral procession coming up the street. In front was a man walking a large dog, followed by two hearses, and after the hearses came a long line of men.

Assuming it was two very famous people who had died Jim ran up to the man walking the dog and asked "What happened?!?!?"

"Oh my wife and mother-in-law died."

Jim, still thinking they were famous tried to pry a little further.

"Oh my god, what happened to your mother?"

"My dog Gus here bit her and she died."

"That's HORRIBLE, and your mother-in-law??!??!?"

"Gus bit her, then she died to."

Jim looked at the dog, then back at his house.

"Do you think I could borrow Gus next weekend?"

"Get in line" said the man who pointed back to the long line of men that stretched off into the distance.
