Mother-in-law on Safari 😁😁
Jul 21, 2018 08:13:12 #
Ben 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.
Ben 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 said, "What are we going to do?""Nothing," said Ben, "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

And there's me thinking the punch line would be "Shoot the Madusa-In-Law" 😁😁😁

You know, mother in law jokes are always funny but I am glad to say that I got along well with mine even if she was German. She was Swabish, southern Germany and the Swabs can be stubborn as a mule. I ought to know. I am married to one. (:

Have you read “The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” a short story by Ernest Hemingway? If not, you need to.

I had a very good relationship with my mother-in-law. We didn't have a language in common.

That works well.

I got along with my first mother-in-law better than with my husband (long since ex-), and was best friends with second until she passed. Now, substitute "mother-in-law" for "first husband" in that story, and I would agree!

It works well if you don’t have a common language but I speak fluent German so was able to have a good relationship.
