Thats Life

Two friends go out fishing, it was a lovely day. You cannot beat this pastime to dwindle time away. They park beside a bridge get on their fishing gear. Feeling really good they even have some beer. Further down the road coming from afar, three cars are approaching one is a Funeral car. As the front car passes one man stands and bows his head, clearly showing respect to the bereaved and to the dead. He lingers for a moment then puts back on his cap. His friend looks on in awe, thinks what a decent chap. "That was very nice of you, to stop, respect a life." "To take onboard the pain involved for a husband or a wife." "It was the least that i could do, in fact i feel some tears." "After all she was my wife for nearly twenty years!"
