The 84-year-old Newlywed

The local news station was interviewing an 84-year-old lady because she had just gotten married -- for the fourth time. 

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 84, and then about her new husband's occupation. 

"He's a funeral director," she answered. 

"Interesting," the newsman thought. 

He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. 

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she explained that she first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, later on a preacher when in her 60's, and now, in her 80's, a funeral director. 

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. 

"Easy, son," she smiled. "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go!"

Wrinkled Beauty

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella.

Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful!"
The boy looked up, "Really?"

"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that is prettier than freckles." 

The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."

Newest World's Tallest Man - Sultan Kosen

The world's tallest man - who also has the largest hands and feet - has been named by Guinness World Records for the launch of its 2010 book. 

At 8ft 1in (2.47m), Sultan Kosen, from Turkey, is about 4in (10cm) taller than previous title-holder Bao Xishun.  

The 27-year-old's hands measure 10.8in (27.5cm) and his feet 14.3in (36.5cm). Mr Kosen, whose height is due to the medical condition pituitary gigantism, said he hoped his new-found fame would bring him love for the first time.
