Birthday Gift

Two guys were talking at work. “I’ve got a problem,” said the first one.”What is it?”"My wife has done it to me again. I’m supposed to buy my mother-in- law a present for her birthday, from the two of us. And, I am fresh out of ideas. I mean, it’s HER mother, why can’t she buy it?”"What did you buy her last year?” the other one asked.”Last year I bought her a VERY EXPENSIVE cemetery plot.”"Hmmmm…, hard to top that one,” said the other.The two guys couldn’t come up with anything. So the son-in-law didn’t buy his mother-in-law anything for her birthday.When the big day arrived the next weekend, she was a bit upset. At the family gathering for her birthday, she announced out loud to everyone, “Thank you all for the wonderful gifts. Too bad my daughter and son-in-law weren’t so thoughtful!”

Thinking quickly, the son-in-law responded, “Well, you haven’t used the gift I gave you last year!”
