Fred is 32 years old and still single. One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married?"

"Actually, I've found many women I wanted to marry, but my mother doesn't like them."

His friend says, "Then just find a girl who's just like your mother."

A few months later they meet again and his friend asks, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?"

With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother, and my mother liked her very much."

"Then what's the problem?"

Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her."

프레드는 32세의 미혼남이다. 어느 날 한 친구가 그에게 왜 결혼을 안 하는지 물었다.

"사실 결혼하고 싶은 여자는 많았는데, 어머니가 싫어하시더라고."

친구가 조언했다. "그럼 어머니와 똑같은 여자를 찾아봐."

몇 달 후 다시 만난 친구가 프레드에게 물었다. "완벽한 여자를 찾았니? 어머니는 마음에 들어하셔?"

프레드는 얼굴을 찡그리며 대답했다. "응, 완벽한 여자를 찾았어. 어머니와 똑같은 여자였는데, 어머니도 매우 좋아하셨지."

"그런데 뭐가 문제야?"

프레드가 답했다. "이번에는 아버지가 싫어하셔."
