My favorite joke, ever
Martha and Susie were at the airport, waiting for their plane to arrive. Trying to make small talk with the stranger next to her, Susie asked Martha if she had any children.
"Oh, yes," Martha said, pulling out her wallet. "Let me show you." And she flipped to a picture of two children, a small boy and girl. "That's my daughter Amy and my son John." Susie complimented the children, and Martha then asked her, "Do you have kids?"
"Yes," Susie answered, and then took out her wallet. She flipped to a picture of a teenager. "This is my oldest, Jerry." Martha smiled as Susie turned to another picture, this one showing two identical twins.
"And these are my twin girls, Jerry and Jerry." Susie flipped to the next picture. "This is my ten-year old, he's such a sweet boy. His name is Jerry. And this little rascal after him is little Jerry."
Martha looked perplexed.
"I don't mean to interrupt," she said, "but how many children do you have?"
Susie answered, "Ten. And they're all named Jerry." Martha thought this was beyond weird.
"They're all named Jerry? Why? Doesn't that just mess things up?"
"Oh, no, let me tell you," said Susie. "Naming all my kids 'Jerry' was the best thing I ever did. In the morning, when it's time for school, I just have to yell, 'Jerry! TIME TO GET UP!!' and my ten kids come running. When they're outside and it's time to come in, I just stick my head out the window and yell, 'JERRY! TIME TO COME IN!' and then my ten kids show up. If I want them to help me clean, I just shout, 'JERRY!' and then I have help. Best idea I ever had, I tell you. I call one name and they all come."
"Wait," Martha said. "What if you just want ONE child, not all ten?"
"Oh," Susie replied, "That's really easy. Then I just call the kid by the dad's last name."
"Oh, yes," Martha said, pulling out her wallet. "Let me show you." And she flipped to a picture of two children, a small boy and girl. "That's my daughter Amy and my son John." Susie complimented the children, and Martha then asked her, "Do you have kids?"
