“Son, I want you to marry a girl of my choice.”
“C’mon Dad,” says the boy, “I want to choose my own bride.”

Jack steps into his office and says, “I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.”
Says the World Bank president, “But I already have more vice-presidents than I need.”
“Perhaps,” says Jack, “but this young man is Bill Gates’s son-in-law.”
“Ah,” says the President, “in that case…”
