[StBernard] The bride

[Westley Annis]

			Married three times and still going strong...
			 
			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 dress 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, 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."
