Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who lived far away in another city.
The first said, "I had a big house built for Momma.
The second said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."
The third said, " I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in the house."
The fourth said, "You know how Momma loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot that can recite the entire bible. It took twenty preachers 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to the church, but it was worth it. Mamma just has to name the chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it." The other brothers were impressed.

****************************

After the holidays Mom sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote: "Milton, the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks, anyway."

"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."

"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."

"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you." :huh:

oh no......... :lol:

lol.....oh goodness :o

I've seen that before hahahaha lol it was still great the 2nd time lol

that would be just like me, be given a gift like that and just eat it instead...not realizing what I had truly been given. guess you can tell I have basic needs...eat, sleep, rabbit village, kids.

funny! I heard it before, but still funny!

This is proof positive that all gifts to nearly blind, nearly deaf older folks need to come with instructions! I can see myself making crazy mistakes when I'm old!

did you get that at a website called the Dog House or something like that? lol

a friend emailed it to me. She's crazy...that was one of the cleaner ones she sent and it made me giggle

That was very funny! I thought she was going to say I love trying to listen to the parrot. I guess it still turned out as an alright present. To bad for the bird right!

Monique, I love this joke. Please tell me whenever you get some good ones. You always have the best sense of humor.
