Just a LAUGH : Ultimate joke of the day :P

One fine morning a man was leaving a cafe after his morning coffee, when he
noticed a most unusual funeral procession A funeral coffin was followed by
a second one about 50 feet behind the first.

Behind the second coffin was a solitary man walking with a black dog.

Behind him was a queue of about 2000 men walking in a single line.

The man couldn't stand his curiosity.

He approached the man walking with the dog, "I am so sorry for your loss,
and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a
funeral like this with so many of you walking in single line. Whose
funeral is it? "

The man replied, "Well, that first coffin is for my wife. "

What happened to her? "

The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her. "

He inquired further, "Well, who is in the second coffin? "

The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife  when
the dog attacked and killed her also. "

A thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two men.

Then the first one asks in excitement "Can I borrow the dog? "
                                             
The man calmly replied "Join the queue".
