"Gifts For Mother" joke
Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
"I had a big house built for our mother," the first son said.
"I sent her a Mercedes and a driver," said the second.
"I've got you both beat," said the third, with a grin. "Do you remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? Well, she can't see very well so I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire bible. It took the church elders many years to teach him. Mom only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, mom sent out a letter of thanks to each son:
"Jason, the house you had built for me is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Matthew, I am too old to travel. Most of the time I remain at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And, the driver is terribly rude!"
"Dearest David, You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."
