    A guy couldn't marry his widow's ANYthing 'cause he'd be dead.

    DUH.

    But thanks for the chuckle.

  • Q: Can a man legally marry his widow's sister, who used to be his sister-in-law?

    I suspect it depends of juristiction. You could probably find one that doesn't explicitly say that both bride and groom have to be alive. Quite why you'd want to marry a corpse is an entirely different question, though...

    • Case in point in Texas 40 years ago - there was a point of law - it said you couldn't be married to someone who was dead. Not deceased, but dead. One legislateor pointed out that, according to that definition, his marriage was over years ago because his wife had been "dead" sexually for a L-O-N-G time.

      Dead can have a lot of meaning :-)

    • If you find a recently deceased (sp?) person without relatives, you can get married with him/her before the papers for his death are filed. That way you get the money for being his/her widower. Of course, you have to be a greedy sick fuck and have friends that can get you married with a corpse.
      Yes, it happens.

    • A little kid draws a picture of a farm scene. Mom can't figure it out so she asks what those blobs are (but she's nice about it). The kid says "Its a mommy cow, and a daddy cow, and two baby cows that mommy cow had on the same day - they're twins!"

      What's wrong with this picture?

        • Psst ... The Answer is "What is a daddy cow" ?

          Ain't no such animal, at least around here ... we call them bulls.

          • Actually not correct. There are two definitions of cow. One being the mature female of the species, but the other being (from Merriam-Webster) "a domestic bovine animal regardless of sex or age".

            For some animals we have distinct words for each gender and age and for others there is some overlap. Most people don't teach their kids that puppies come from dogs and bitches (wonder why). For others there is not that overlap. Example: horse, stallion and mare, colt and filly (and even gelding, yearling, and
  • After long years as a bachelor I was tired of being alone and married a widow with a grown daughter. My father fell in love with the daughter and took her as his wife. This made me my own son-in-law and my stepdaughter became my mother. After a year my wife gave birth to a son. Now, my son was my father's brother-in-law and at the same time my uncle, since he was my stepmother's brother. But my father's wife also gave birth to a son. So this was my brother and also my grandson, since he was the son of my da
  • You are driving a bus. At your first stop 11 people get on. At the second stop 4 people get off and no one gets on. At the third stop seven people get on and one old lady gets off. At the fourth stop a mother with twins gets on.

    What color are the bus drivers eyes?
  • A guy in prison gets a visitor. Since it's a rare occurrence, after the visitor has left, the guard asks the inmate who it was. The jailbird answers thusly:

    "Brothers and sisters have I none,
    But that man's father was my father's son."

    Who was the visitor?
