A Little Respect!

Sent By Jim Clark, UK

Two anglers fishing under a bridge. As the afternoon wore on,
across the bridge came a funeral cortege, hearse, black cars full
of mourners, cars with flowers. The works.

Fisherman No.1 takes off his hat, puts it against his chest and
stands in silence until all has passed.

No.2 says “That’s very impressive Charlie, I didn’t know
you held them kind of feelings.”

No.1 Replies “You have to show a little respect, I was married to
her for forty years.”
