Thomas is 32 years old and he is still single. One day a friend asked, "Why aren't
you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?"
Thomas replied, "Actually, I've found many women I 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, just find a girl
who's just 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?"
