The Dilemma of the Ideal Partner
(Originally in English)
A young man who was very depressed asked his
best friend for advice. He said, "I want to have
a wife so much. You know, I am already very old,
and I need a wife. I want to have a wife so much,
but I have not had one up till now. What can I do?
Every woman I bring home, my mother does not
like." So his friend said, "Oh! That's easy.
You just have to look for a woman who
looks like your mother." So the friend said,
"Yes, I did, but then my father did not like her!"
