Fred is 35 years old and he is still single. One day a friend asks him, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you married? Can¡¯t you find a woman who would be a good wife?¡±

Fred replies, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve found many women I¡¯ve wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn¡¯t like them.¡±

His friend thinks for a moment and says, ¡°I¡¯ve got the perfect solution, find a girl who is exactly like your mother.¡±

A few months later they meet again and his friend says, ¡°Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?¡±

With an unhappy face, Fred answers, ¡°Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was exactly like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much.¡±

The friend says, ¡°So, what¡¯s the problem?¡±

Fred replies, ¡°My father didn¡¯t like her.¡±
