A Boy Is Visiting His Girlfriend’s Parents

A boy is visiting his girlfriend’s parents for the

first time. He’s looking for a drinking glass when he

notices a row of cups in the cabinet, each of them inscribed

with what seems like half words. He picks one of them down

just as girlfriend’s mom walks in, and he asks her what

the cups are for. “Oh those. They’re family cups, one

for each member, but my eyesight has gotten so bad I can no

longer tell which is which, so I wrote on them to help

myself.” She pulls one cup down that says “HIC-”

holding it out to the man “This is for little Thomas, it

holds just enough water to help cure his hiccups, so I wrote

HIC on it, it’s the HIC-cup!” She then pulls down

another cup “This is for Angela, but it says BREA.

whenever she’s heartbroken she likes to drink hot toddy,

so this is her BREA-Cup.” “Ahh, okay I see it now.”

Says the boy “But doesn’t your husband have his own

cup?” “Oh he does” The mom replies “It’s the large

one that says ‘SHUTTHEFU’ on it…”
