Добрый день, уважаемые подписчики. Специально для тех,
кто недавно подписался на нашу рассылку сообщаю, что в четверг-пятницу
мы
делаем выпуск, посвящённый исключительно юмору (анекдоты, шутки и т.д.)
на
английском языке. Не спешите отписываться! По понедельникам выходит
настоящий
выпуск, посвящённый каким-нибудь проблемам, трудностям и интересностям
английского
языка. Так что даже если трудно понимать юмор (всё-таки надеюсь, что вы
разберётесь),
ждите понедельника. А в середине недели мы отдыхаем, наслаждаясь
английским
юмором или шуткам на английском языке. Сегодня вашему вниманию предлагаю
продолжение
так называемых family jokes! Эта серия анекдотов посвящена тёщам.
Предлагаю
взглянуть на проблему <тёщи> глазами американцев...

Betty's mother was visiting her daughter and son-in-law
Bill. Bill came home from work and found six vacuum cleaner salesmen
outside
his house. He dashed in and said, "Mom, there are six men outside
who
all claim they have an appointment for a vacuum cleaner
demonstration!"
"That's right," the mother-in-law replied. "Now you just
show
them all to different rooms and let them start demonstrating."

Some comedy about mother-in-laws...NOT NECESSARILY
THE TRUTH:
* Betty just got back from a pleasure trip, she
took her mother-in-law to the airport.
* Why do mother-in-laws sit in the back seat of
the car? To give the rear tires more traction.
* One day a wife complained, "This wall clock
almost killed my mother today. If fell only seconds after she got up
from
the couch." The husband grunted and replied, "The darn clock
always
was slow."
* A mother-in-law dies only when another devil
is needed in hell.
* Mother-in-law: I baked two kinds of cookies
today. Would you like to take your pick? Son-in-law: No thanks. I'll
just
use the hammer.
* The ultimate in mixed emotions - watching your
mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your brand new Mercedes.
* * *
"It's just not true, Larry," his mother-in-law
said, shaking her head, "it's simply not so. I have never, never
made
a fool out of you. I have always given you every opportunity to develop
your
own natural talent in that regard."
* * *
What is the difference between a vulture and your
mother-in-law? Vultures wait until you're dead to pick on you.
* * *
Happiness is defined as opening your refrigerator
to find your mother-in-law's picture on the milk carton.
* * *
Do you know the punishment for bigamy? Two mother-in-law's.

A man was traveling down a country road when he
saw a large group of people outside a house. He stopped and asked a
person
why the large crowd was there. A farmer replied, "Joe's mule kicked
his
mother-in-law and she died." "Well," replied the man,
"she
must have had a lot of friends." "Nope," said the farmer,
"we
all just want to buy his mule."

My mother-in-law is like a fine French Impressionist
painting. She's very lovely, but is best appreciated at a distance.

First Cannibal: "I really don't like my mother-in-law."
Second Cannibal: "Then just eat the noodles."

A man went to a bookstore and asked to see a book
titled, "How to Control Your Mother-in-Law." "Our fiction
department
is in the rear, right side of the aisle," the salesman said with a
smile.
* * *
"Is my laryngitis contagious, Doc?"
"Under the right circumstances it could be." "Do you
recommend
I do anything about that?" "How about giving your
mother-in-law
a big kiss?"
* * *
Larry and Dorothy were having their usual loud
and endless argument about family reunions. At last, Fred relented.
"I'm
awfully sorry, Sweetheart. I didn't mean all those hateful things I said
about
your family. As a matter of fact, I like your mother-in-law a whole lot
better
than I do mine."
* * *
I bought my mother-in-law a new chair for Christmas.
She unwrapped it and sat in it. Then I said "Plug it in, plug it
in!"
* * *
With all these mother-in-law jokes, just where
are the father-in-law jokes? Nobody seems to know, but the lack of
father-in-law
jokes seems to indicate just where the real, actual power rests in
resolving
family problems.

Little four-year-old Jenny was looking at her
new baby brother for the first time. He was fast asleep. After staring
at
her tiny, motionless baby brother for a few minutes, Jenny looked up at
her
mother and asked plaintively, "Didn't he come with batteries?"
