Two women approach the King of Persia, dragging between them a young man called Arya.
"This young man promised to marry my daughter," said one of the women.
"No! Arya agreed to marry my daughter," said the other woman.
The two women kept on arguing in front of the King, until he called for silence.
The king announced, "I have a solution to your problem. I will cut this young man into two pieces with my sword. You will both receive a half."
"I am fine with the idea," said the first woman. But the other woman cried, "Oh King, please do not kill this man. Let the other woman have him and marry him to her daughter."
The wise king had taken his decision. He announced, "This young man, Arya must marry the daughter of the first lady."
"But that's unfair!" exclaimed the court.
The wise King said,"As she was willing to see the young man cut in two, it proves she is indeed the TRUE mother-in-law!"

There guys were discussing the origins of human beings and where did Adam and Eve come from.
Jack, the British guy, said, "They have to be British, only a gentleman would share his last apple with a woman."
Pierre, the French guy claimed, "There is no doubt they were French. The French are so good at seducing women."
Bob, the American commented, "My guess is they were Russian. After all, who else could roam around naked, survive on one apple between the two of them and still feel they were in paradise?"

Danny was being tried for Bigamy in a court.
After the judge passed his sentence, he asked Danny, "Have you learnt your lesson and realized what a bad thing it is to have more than one wife."
"Yes, your honor, I have," he replied.
"What is it that you realized?" the judge asked.
Danny replied, "Having two wives means having two mothers-in-law, and that, in itself, should be grounds enough to support assisted suicide."

Mrs. Smith, an old lady who lived in the countryside, had a peculiar habit. She would step onto her front porch every morning, raise her arms to the sky, and yell, "Praise the Almighty!"
Her new neighbor, Mr. Fowler who had just moved in, happened to be an atheist. Mr. Fowler didn't like Mrs. Smith's morning ritual. So, he would retaliate by stepping onto his front porch after her and shouting: "There's no Almighty!".
Time passed with the two of them carrying on the same way every day.
One morning, when it was bitter cold, Mrs. Smith stepped onto her front porch and yelled: "Praise the Almighty! I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Almighty!"
The next morning when she stepped out onto her porch, she saw a big bag of groceries lying there.
"Praise the Almighty!" she cried out. "He has provided groceries for me!"
Her atheist neighbor, Mr. Fowler jumped out of the bushes and shouted: "There is no Almighty. I bought those groceries!"
Mrs. Smith threw her arms into the air and shouted: "Praise the Almighty! He has provided groceries for me and made the Devil pay for it!!!"

Good morning everyboomie.
I don't remember ever saying that when I had to get up at 5:30 on a Sunday morning.
I work Sunday, and Monday, and then I'm off Tue, Wed, Thur.
Gee I hope I can get to where I can retire some day soon!
Saturday I went to the old sod farm, where they raise old sods, and I dug around for 4 hours, and I found a few points. One of them is real nice, like my first wife.
Not so much my second or third.
After 3 wives and seven kids, they can retire me to the old sod farm, yessiree!
Have a happy day everyone.
