一个医生来到加利福尼亚一家精神病院,问一个病人:“你怎么来到这里的?病是什么性质的?” 他得到了如下回答。 “那得从我结婚时说起了,我想我就不应该结这个婚。我娶了一个寡妇,她带着一个成年女儿,也就是我的继女。 我的父亲来看望我们,爱上了我那可爱的继女,然后娶了她。于是我之前的继女现在变成了我的继母。 不久我妻子生了个儿子,当然,这个儿子就变成了我父亲的小舅子,因为他是我继女的半个弟弟,而现在,我继女变成了我父亲的妻子。所以,就像我告诉你的,当我的继女和我父亲结婚以后,她立刻变成了我的继母。现在因为我的儿子是我继母的弟弟,那他就是我的叔叔了。你看,既然我的妻子是我继母的母亲,那她就是我的继祖母了。 (别忘了我的继母也是我的继女。)同时,也别忘了,我成了我妻子的外孙。 再等几分钟好吗?你看,因为我同自己的继祖母结了婚,那我就不但是我妻于的外孙和丈夫,我也成了自己的外祖父。 现在你知道我是怎么来到这个地方的了吧?” Family Tree A physician visited a California mental institution and asked a patient, " How did you get here? What is the nature of your illness?" He got this reply. "It started when I got married and I guess I should never have done it. I got hitched to a widow with a grown daughter who then became my stepdaughter. My Daddy came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, and then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother. Soon my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy’s brother-in-law since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife. So as I told you, when stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once, my stepmother. Now since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step grand-mother since she is my stepmother’s mother. (Don’t forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. ) Remember, too, that I am my wife's grandson. But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I’m married to my step grandmother, I am not only the wife’s grandson and her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand how I got put in this place?" |
