Dawn was breaking on opening day of turkey season and two old turkey hunters, Bill and Ed were in their favorite spot high on a wooded ridge, like they had been many times before. The morning slipped by uneventfully until about 11 AM when a Tom turkey started answering their calls and seemed to be coming their way. Just then Bill looked back down toward the highway and said, "Hey Ed, look, a funeral procession is coming down the road". Ed turned to look, then stood up, removed his hat and bowed his head until the procession went past. Bill said, "Geeze Ed, that was quite a show of respect!" Ed replied, "Least I could do really, I mean, we were married 40 years".
