Standing at the edge of the lake, a man saw a woman
flailing about in the deep water. Unable to swim, the man screamed
for help. A trout fisherman ran up. The man said, "My
wife is drowning and I can't swim. Please save her. I'll
give you a hundred dollars." The fisherman dove into the
water. In ten powerful strokes he reached the woman, put his
arm around her, and swam back to shore. Depositing her at the
feet of the man, the fisherman said, "Okay, where's my hundred
dollars?" The man said, "Look, when I saw her going
down for the third time, I thought it was my wife. But this
is my MIL." The fisherman reached into his pocket and said,
"Just my luck. How much do I owe you?"

stood up and was telling story of his dating habits in his youth.

like his mother, she even sounded like his mother. So he brought
her home one night to have dinner, and his father didn't like her.

George went on a vacation to the Middle East with most
of his family, including his mother-in-law. During their vacation,
and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died.
With the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate
Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the States for
proper burial. The Consul, after hearing of the death of the
mother-in-law, told George, "My friend, the sending of a body
back to the States for burial is very, very expensive. It could
cost as much as $5,000 dollars." The Consul continued,
"In most of these cases, the person responsible for the remains
normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost
$150 dollars". George thinks for some time, and answers
the Consul, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body
back. That's what I want to do." The Consul, after
hearing this says, "You must have loved your mother-in-law very
much, considering the difference in price between $5,000 and $150
dollars." "No, it's not that," says George.
"You see, I know of a case many, many years ago of a person that
was buried here in Jerusalem, and on the third day he was resurrected.
Consequently, I do not want to take that chance!"

A woman stopped by unannounced at her recently married
son's house. She rang the doorbell and walked in. She
was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally
naked. Soft music was playing; and the aroma of perfume filled
the room. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm
waiting for my husband to come home from work," the daughter-in-law
answered. "But you're naked!" the mother-in-law exclaimed.
"This is my love dress," the daughter-in-law explained.
"Love dress? But you're naked!" " My husband
loves me to wear this dress," she explained. "It excites
him to no end. Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly
becomes romantic and ravages me for hours on end. He can't get
enough of me." The mother-in-law left. When she got
home, she undressed, showered, put on her best perfume, dimmed the
lights, put on a romantic CD, and laid on the couch waiting for her
husband to arrive. Finally, her husband came home. He
walked in and saw her laying there so provocatively. "What
are you doing?" he asked. "This is my love dress,"
she whispered, sensually. "Needs ironing," he said.

bottles then?"

Two lifeguards are working together on a beach when
one of them notices sharks circling a woman who has drifted out a
little too far. He begins to get up to race to her rescue when
the other lifeguard grabs his arm and holds him back.
The first lifeguard says,"Why are you holding me back?
We have to go save that woman!"
To which the other replies, "Don't worry. That woman is
my mother-in-law."
"Are you trying to kill her?"
"Although the idea may be tempting, that is not my intent.
Just watch."
With that, the sharks organize themselves beneath the woman, and ride
her on their backs all the way to shore, safely depositing her.
"What in the world gave you the notion that would happen," asked
the first lifeguard.
"Professional courtesy."

A man returned home from the night shift and went straight
up to the bedroom. He found his wife with the sheet pulled over
her head, fast asleep. Not to be denied, the horny husband crawled
under the sheet and proceeded to make love to her. Afterward,
as he hurried downstairs for something to eat, he was startled to
find breakfast on the table and his wife pouring coffee. "How'd
you get down here so fast?" he asked. "We were just
making love!" "Oh my God," his wife gasped, "That's
my mother up there! She came over early and had complained of
having a headache. I told her to lie down for a while."
Rushing upstairs, the wife ran to the bedroom. "Mother,
I can't believe this happened. Why didn't you say something?"
The mother-in-law huffed, "I haven't spoken to that jerk for
fifteen years, and I wasn't about to start now!"

A man met a wonderful woman
and became engaged to her. He called his mother to share his
good news with her. He arranged to have dinner with his mother
that evening so that she could meet his fiancee. When he arrived
at her home, he brought along three women - a blonde, a brunette,
and a redhead. His mother inquired as to why he had brought
THREE women, instead of just one. He replied that he wanted
to see if his mother would be able to guess which one of the women
was her future daughter-in-law. She looked at each one carefully
and then replied: "It's the redhead." "How
could you possibly have figured that out so quickly?" he inquired.
She coldly replied, "Because I can't stand HER."

A woman was leaving a convenience
store with her morning coffee when she 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.
Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a very mean
looking dog on a leash. Behind that were 200 women walking single
file.
The woman couldn't stand her curiosity.
She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "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 procession like this. Whose funeral
is it?"
The woman replied, "Well, that first hearse is for my husband."
"What happened to him?"
The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."
She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to
help my husband when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two
women.
"Can I borrow the dog?"
"Get in line."

A GIFT FOR HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
Two guys were talking at work.
"I've got a problem," said the first one.
"What is it?"
"My wife has done it to me again. I'm supposed to buy my mother-in-law
a present for her birthday, from the two of us. And, I am fresh
out of ideas. I mean, it's HER mother, why can't she buy it?"
"What did you buy her last year?" the other one asked.
"Last year I bought her a VERY EXPENSIVE cemetery plot."
"Hmmmm, hard to top that one," said the other.
The two guys couldn't come up with anything. So the son-in-law didn't
buy his mother-in-law anything for her birthday.
When the big day arrived the next weekend, she was a bit upset.
At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud to
everyone, "Thank you all for the wonderful gifts. Too bad my
daughter and son-in-law weren't so thoughtful!"
Thinking quickly, the son-in-law responded, "Well, you haven't used
the gift I gave you last year!"

A married couple was in
a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned.
The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from
her body because she was too skinny. So, the husband offered
to donate some of his own skin. However, the only skin on his
body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his
buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no
one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor
also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate
matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's
new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before!
All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful
beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank
you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever
repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time
I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

A big-game hunter went
on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while
still deep in the jungle, the Mrs. awoke to find her mother gone.
Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her
mother.
The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started
to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came
upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick,

Two women came before
wise King Solomon, dragging between them a young man. "This
young man agreed to marry my daughter," said one. "No!
He agreed to marry MY daughter," said the other. And so
they haggled before the King, until he called for silence. "Bring
me my biggest sword," said Solomon, " and I shall hew the
young man in half. Each of you shall receive a half."
"Sounds good to me," said the first lady. But the
other woman said, "Oh Sire, do not spill innocent blood.
Let the other woman's daughter marry him." The wise king
did not hesitate a moment. "This man must marry the first
lady's daughter," he proclaimed. "But she was willing
to hew him in two!" exclaimed the king's court. "Indeed,"
said wise King Solomon. "That shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law!"
