The Eulogy
Martha married and had 11 children. Her husband died.
Martha married again and had 7 more children. Again, her husband died. But, Martha remarried and this time had 5 more children.
Again, her husband died. And alas, Martha finally died.
Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her. He thanked The Lord for this very loving woman and said, "Lord, they're finally together."
One mourner leaned over and quietly asked her friend, "Do you think he means her first, second or third husband?"
The friend replied, "I think he means her legs."
