Marital Code

"Marital Code" *

*A mother had three daughters and, on their wedding,
she tells each one to write back about their married
life. To avoid possible embarrassment to their new
husbands by openly discussing their love lives, the
mother and daughters agree to using newspaper
advertisements as a 'code' to let the mother know
how their love lives are going.

The first one gets married and the second day the letter
arrives with a single message, simply: "MAXWELL COFFEE
HOUSE." Mother got the newspaper and checked the
Maxwell Coffee House advertisement, and it says:
"Satisfaction to the last drop..." So, Mother is happy.

Then the second daughter gets married. After a week,
there was a message that reads: "ROTHMAN'S MATTRESSES".
So, the Mother looks at the Rothman's Mattresses ad, and
it says: "FULL SIZE, KING SIZE". And Mother is happy again.

Then it was the third one's wedding. Mother was anxious.
After four weeks came the message: "BRITISH AIRWAYS".
So mother looks into the British Airways ad, but this time she faints.

The ad reads: "THREE TIMES A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, BOTH WAYS."
