A much-married woman walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she
sought a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.
"Well," replied the sales clerk, "exactly what type of dress do you seek?"

The bride to be said, "A long frilly white one, with a veil."

Temporarily at a loss for words, the sales clerk finally said, "Frankly, madam, gowns of that nature are considered more appropriate for brides who are being married the first time; that is, for those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean?"

"Well," replied the customer, more than a little put out, "I can assure you that I am as innocent as the rest of them. Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as any first-time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding he died as we were checking into our honeymoon hotel. My second husband and I got into a terrible fight in the limo on our way to the reception and have not spoken since. That wedding was annulled immediately."

"What about your third husband?" asked the sales clerk.

"Well," said the woman, "he was a Democrat and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed telling me how good it was going to be."
