"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!"
