Big Game Hunter

"The Decision"*

*Two women came before wise King Solomon,
dragging between them a young man in a three-piece suit.

"This young lawyer 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 attorney 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. He
proclaimed, "The attorney must marry the first lady's daughter."

"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."

"Big Game Hunter"*

*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, impenetrable bush,
and a large male lion stood facing her.

The wife cried, "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion
got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."
