Going Crazy with Confusion
A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked
a patient, "How did you get here? What was the nature of your
illness?" He got the following reply.
"Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should
never have done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter
who then became my stepdaughter.
My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter,
then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother.
Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law
since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now,
of course, my daddy's wife.
So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she
was at once my stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother
to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife
is my step-grandmother since she is my stepmother's mother.
Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember,
too, that I am my wife's grandson.
But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I'm married
to my step-grandmother, I am not only the wife's grandson and
her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand
how I got put in this place?"
After staring blanky with a dizzy look on his face, the psychiatrist
replied: "Move over!"
