Coddling...
A mother had three daughters and, on their wedding, she tells each
one to write back about their married life. To avoid possible
embarrassment to their new husbands by openly discussing their love
lives, the mother and daughters agree to using newspaper
advertisements as a "code" to let the mother know how their love lives
are going.
The first one gets married and the second day the letter arrives with
a single message, simply: "MAXWELL COFFEE HOUSE". Mother got the
newspaper and checked the Maxwell Coffee House advertisement, and it
says:
"Satisfaction to the last drop..." So, Mother is happy.
Then the second daughter gets married. After a week, there was a
message that reads: "ROTHMAN'S MATTRESSES". So, the Mother looks at
the Rothman's Mattresses ad, and it says: "FULL SIZE, KING SIZE". And
Mother is happy. Then it was the third one's wedding. Mother was
anxious. After four weeks came the message: "BRITISH AIRWAYS". And
mother looks into the British Airways ad, but this time she fainted.
The ad reads: "THREE TIMES A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, BOTH WAYS."
