A man marries a JEG/KfS [Joke Ethnic Group/Known for Stupidity] woman and
|
|
all is well for a time. And, as such things happen, they eventually are
|
|
going to have a baby.
|
|
|
|
The woman's time comes, and as she is taken into the operating room, she
|
|
calls he husband over and says to him:
|
|
|
|
"Honey, there's something I really have to tell you."
|
|
|
|
"Can't this wait" says the husband.
|
|
|
|
"No", explains the wife. "There is as an very old tradition in JEG/KfS
|
|
families that the oldest living male *always* gets to name any new children
|
|
born to anyone in the family. That means my brother must name our
|
|
children. I know this comes as a shock, but I couldn't tell you earlier,
|
|
because I didn't want to upset you."
|
|
|
|
"But, but..." sputters the husband "I *know* your brother. There's no
|
|
question but that he'll screw this up!"
|
|
|
|
"I'm sorry" says the wife, "but that's the way it has to be."
|
|
|
|
Time is getting short, and not wanting to upset his wife any further, the
|
|
husband finally relents. The blessed time comes, and to every one's
|
|
surprise the mother gives birth to a set of healthy, beautiful twins, a boy
|
|
and a girl. The father is of course delighted, but his happiness is
|
|
tempered by the question he knows he must ask his wife. Finally, he can
|
|
put it off no longer.
|
|
|
|
"Alright" he asks, taking a deep breath, "what did your brother name our
|
|
daughter?"
|
|
|
|
"Denise" says the mother, quietly.
|
|
|
|
"Oh", says the surprised father. "That's a pretty name. Perhaps this
|
|
won't be so bad after all. What did he name our son?"
|
|
|
|
"Denephew" said the mother.
