John is 35 years old and he is still single. One day a friend asked,"Why aren't you married?"John replied,"Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but my mother doesn't like them." His friend says, "Here's the solution. 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?"With a frown on his face, John answers," Yes, I found a girl who is just like my mother. My mother liked her very much." "Then what's the problem?" " My father doesn't like her." 존은 서른 다섯 살인데 아직 미혼이다. 어느 날 친구가 왜 결혼을 안하냐고 묻자 존이 답했다. "사실 결혼하고 싶은 여자는 많았는데, 엄마가 그 여자들을 좋아하지 않으셔." 친구가 말했다. "해결책을 알려주지. 그냥 엄마랑 똑같은 여자를 찾아." 몇 달 후 다시 만난 친구가 존에게 물었다. "완벽한 여자를 찾았어? 어머니는 마음에 들어하셔? " 존이 인상을 쓰며 답했다. "그래, 엄마랑 똑같은 여자를 찾았어. 엄마도 그녀를 아주 좋아하셔." "그런데 뭐가 문제야?""아빠가 그녀를 싫어하셔"
