Buy Me Out 

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operations."

The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories. I can't stand the noise."

"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations."

"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just make you half- owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don't like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?"

"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."

At her daughter's urging, Mrs. Ginsberg, age 75, went to see a gynecologist for the first time in her life. She answered the nurse's questions and then was asked to step behind a screen and remove her clothes so Dr. Kaplan could examine her.

At some point during the examination, Mrs. Ginsberg said, "Excuse me, Doctor. Can I ask you a question?"

"Certainly," the doctor replied.

"Tell me," she said. "Your mother knows that from this you make a living?"
