Mother n
Mother n'
Laws and Their Daughters
It was close to 8:15, and the gallery was crowded.
"Two single seats," announced the genial usher, facing the standing crowd.
"but you wouldn't separate a daughter from her mother, would you?"
politely asked the older of two women who were close the aisle. "You're
quite right, madam; I wouldn't," replied the usher. "I did that
once, and I've been regretting it ever since!"
It has been said, "Behind every good man there is
a good woman, .....and a very surprised mother n' law."
A young lady came home and said to her mother, "I
have good news and bad news, mother." "What is it, dear?" the mother
asked. "George proposed to me tonight, but he confided that he was an
athiest and didn't even believe in hell! Oh, what shall I do
mother? Shall I marry a man who doesn't even believe in hell?" "Go
ahead and marry him, dear," said the mother. "We'll have him
believing in it within six months."
At a Sunday evening Church service in a little country church the lights
began to flicker and all of a sudden the devil himself appeared with a bolt of
lightning and stood on the stage starring at the congregation.....
Pandemonium broke out as people tore out of there through windows and every door
available....all except for one old man who sat on the back row with his legs
and arms folded with slight grin on his face. The devil slowly moved
toward the old gentleman and said in a sly manner as lightning struck again,
"Don't you know who I am?" The old man never said a word, and with a
slight grin on his face, just kept looking at the devil. The devil said to
the man, "Don't you realize I could destroy you at any moment?" "Yep."
said the old man. "Aren't you scared of me?" the devil asked.
"Nope." replied the old fellow. "And why not?" the devil asked. The
old man replied, "Well, if you're who I think you are, I've been married to your
sister near onto 40 years now!"
