from the original joke..
The very next week:
The same guy was fishing with an old friend....they had drifted under a bridge....he looked up & saw a funeral procession crossing the bridge overhead, and instinctively stood up, removed his hat, and placing it over his heart, said a silent prayer.
After the procession had passed, he sat back down, replaced his hat, and returned to his fishing.
His friend, who had been watching the display, said "Wow, Bob, that was really touching. I didn't know you had it in you". Wiping a tear from his eye, Bob replied "Well, I guess I owed her at least that. After all, we were married for 38 years".
