Hi everyone,
I was sitting and studying English, when I read this `mother-in-law` joke.
A man is walking along when sees a funereal procession going by. It is the longest funeral procession he has ever seen, with a long line of men walking behind the hearse. He notices that the first man in line has a Doberman Pinscher on a leash. After watching the long line of men for a few minutes, the man´s curiosity gets the better of him, so he goes up to the fist man in the procession.
"Excuse me, sir," he says to the mourner with the dog. "I´m very sorry to bother you in your time of grief, but never in my life have I seen such a large funeral procession. Could you tell me who this funeral is for?"
"Yes, says the man, tightening the leash on his dog, the funeral is for my mother-in-law. You see," he says, hanging his head, "my Doberman, here, attacked and killed her."
"Gee, I´m really sorry to hear that", says the other man.
"But...um...tell me, do you think maybe I could borrow this dog?"
The mourner points his thumb ober his shoulder and says, "GET IN LINE."
To me the word hearse ( es bedeutet Leichenwagen) was new. So, I learned a new word and had a good laugh. Bingo.
Have a beautyful day

something to laugh
