The three sons of an old woman return home after years seeking their fortune
The three sons of an old woman return home after years seeking their fortunes.
They make merry and have dinner together. And before leaving, they hand their mother gifts.
The eldest son gifts his mother the deed to a massive palatial chateau in the French Riviera.
The middle son
gifts her a sparkling Mercedes convertible.
Finally, the youngest son gifts her a gilded cage with an exquisite expensive blue-green parrot, that can recite the entire Phone Book.
After a few weeks, the mother calls each of her sons to thank them for their gifts.
To the eldest son she says, "Thank you for the lovely house, dear. It is truly spacious. However, it is so big that it becomes tiresome to move about with my old age and at night, when the help are gone, it is a scary place to be alone in. I think I should move back to the old house."
To the middle son she says, "Thank you for the car dear. It is very luxurious. However, my cataracts are acting up and I can't seem to handle the car very well. I almost ran over a pedestrian the other day. I don't think I should be driving this car."
Finally to the youngest son she says,
"My dearest son, you know exactly what your mother likes!
That chicken was absolutely delicious!"

Two TV wine tasters trying to out do each other
Food and drink show on TV doing a wine feature with 2 tasters being given a blind tasting. Both hate each other and are desperate to show off
The first taster takes a sip and says "oh this is clearly French, from the Rhone Valley"
The second cuts across him to say "Well, obviously, it's a Cote Du Rhone, you can taste the Grenache, unmistakable"
"Ah" says the first "it's not just a Cote Du Rhone, its clearly Chateauneuf Du Pape and if I'm not mistaken it's from Chateau Rayas"
"Of course its obviously from The Rayas Estate" says the second taster in reply "the North facing vineyard, to the eastern side. Quite clearly"
Determined not to be out done by his rival, the first taster takes another sip and slurps it carefully while he thinks of something more to say ... "Jaques has been peeing on the vines again"
After swallowing his sip and without missing a beat, the second taster says "and he's back on the brandy too"
