   Hi, Paul Quinn! How are you?   
   on Saturday, 19 of January, I read your message to Alexander Koryagin   
   about "Family affairs"   
      
      
    ak>> Well, there are many anectodes about married men and their   
    ak>> mothers-in-law, how they fighting like cats with dogs. Maybe   
    ak>> mothers-in-law outside Russia are sweet and fluffy? Maybe my   
    ak>> translation could be better.   
      
    PQ> My mother-in-law was a saint.  She was a beautiful person.  I was more   
    PQ> 'attached' to her than my own mother.  A lot of anectodes are not   
    PQ> truisms (cannot be taken as a rule).   
      
   Yes, many stories are greatly exaggerated. This is a nature of anecdotes. A   
   real twaddle, but could be funny. Take these for instance:   
      
   "Boris, what is going on in your house -- this month, your mother-in-law has   
   got in the hospital three times!"   
   "Well, it is all her absent mindedness -- she likes preparing mushrooms sauce   
   for me, but she always forget not to test it while cooking."   
      
   Another one:   
      
   One man came across of his friend.   
   "Listen, you look happy, what happened?"   
   "I've just driven my mother-in-law to the railway station."   
   "But why your mug is so dirty?"   
   "I kissed the train."   
      
   At last:   
   Why a rooster sings all its life? Because it has many wives and none   
   mother-in-law.

   Bye Paul!
