“Of course your daughter’s here!”

By Jimmy Johnson

February 5, 1998


To make up for the site being down almost 24 hours, I’m throwing in a Sunday post. Although I had a doozy of a mother-in-law for inspiration at one time, I haven’t produced a lot of mother-in-law jokes over the years. I figure such humor became clichĂ© shortly after Gutenberg invented the printing press . The few mother-in-law jokes I’ve done have tended to be oblique, such as the above. (In all fairness, how would you feel if your son-in-law made slightly more than minimum wage working for a remote weekly newspaper and aspiring to be a cartoonist?)
