The Long Line

An Englishman waiting to tee-off sees a funeral procession going by. It was a strange looking affair, the casket and the pall bearers were led by a man who had a dog by a leash and the rest of the people were walking in a straight line behind the casket. Unable to resist his curiosity, he goes up to the man with the dog and asks " Excuse me for troubling you on such a sad occasion. but I have never seen such a string funeral. the dog and all the people walking in a straight line???"

The man with the dog answers "This is my wife's funeral."

"But why the dog?" asks the Englishman.

"She died because this dog here bit her," said the man with the dog.

"Very sorry to hear that.  Would you mind if I borrow the dog for a while?"

"Sure" says the man with the dog, "get to the back of the line."
