A Funeral

A man was leaving a cafe 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
about 50 feet behind the first. Behind the second hearse was a solitary
man walking a pitbull on a leash. Behind him was a queue of 200 men
walking in single file.

The man couldn't stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached
the man walking the dog. "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
with so many of you walking in single file. Whose funeral is it?"

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

What happened to her?"

The man replied, "My dog attacked and killed her."
He inquired further, "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 and thoughtful moment of silence passes between the
two men.

"Can I borrow the dog?"

"Join the queue."

:o

Because it attacked and killed his Mother-in-law (and his wife). The basic concept is that Mother-in-law's can be difficult and husbands have a bit of trouble getting on with them :lol: there are lots of jokes about this kind of subject, I'm surprised you haven't heard them! It's a common subject for stand-up comedians and stuff.

EDIT: for example, my Dad, when we go and visit my Gran (on my Mum's side, therefore his m-i-l), cracks jokes such as, "you know, when we sit down for dinner we have to wait for there to be thirteen people round the dinner table, otherwise she won't light the cauldron". :P

haha that's classic, i'm keeping that one :)

oddly i havent borne witness to this phenom yet, my mum gets on well with my dads parents, and my dad with my nan (though maybe not as well with my late grandad) - even if they can't stand the sight of each other any more (similar with my uncle and commonlaw-aunt)

but my family's just f****d up anyway, not surprising

no, that can't be right, cuz it means paedophiles would have to be tried by juvenile courts and so get off lightly... and ladies / gays would be all newborns :D
