is there a pattern starting to show here

A man was leaving a 7-11 with his morning coffee
when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession
approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse
was followed by a second long black hearse and behind
the second hearse was a solitary man walking a pit
bull on a leash. Behind him were 200 men walking
single file.

The man couldn't contain his curiosity. He
respectfully approached the man walking the dog and
said "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. Whose funeral is it?"

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

"What happened to her?"

"My dog attacked and killed her."

"Well, who is in the second hearse?"

The man answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying
to help my wife when the dog turned on her."

A poignant moment of silence passed between the two
men.

"May I borrow the dog?"

"Get in line."
