Thomas is still single and thirty-two years old.Why aren’t you married, a friend once asked?Is there no way you can find a decent wife?”Actually, I’ve found many women I wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn’t like them,” Thomas said.
After a little thought, his friend offers, “I’ve got the ideal solution; just find a girl who looks exactly like your mother.”When they recross paths a few months later, his friend asks, “Did you find the ideal girl? Would your mother have liked her?Thomas says, scowling, “I did find the ideal girl. My mother and her were identical. My mother did, in fact, adore her.What then is the problem, the friend asked?Thomas shot back, “She’s not liked by my father.”
