How come we never hear father-in-law jokes?

Answer 1

really great question

Answer 2

The mothers-in-law in the MIL jokes scared them off, and the fathers-in-law are all hiding.

Answer 3

I have told loads of them....I am just careful about the company I am in...usually the Mother-in- Law ranting and being a prig whilst he stands close, but oh these men are VERY funny!!!!!!

Answer 4

Maybe because it's kind of random. It's like when you're at Hallmark, you don't see that many father-in-law cards, but you see a ton of grandfather or husband cards.

Answer 5

Never hear any blond guy joke either. But then again, you don't hear any female Aggie jokes. LOL Maybe it averages out.

Answer 6

Probably because fathers act differently than mothers. I think father-in-laws are generally less irritating than mother-in-laws, and therefore are less funny.

Answer 7

Hell with mother-in-laws that are like mine, there is no time for the father-in-law to get a damn word in.... she is always right too

Answer 8

Guys don't care to bother as much as women do. A mother is always going to feel there child could do better and they are not afraid to say it. Dudes are like " hey whatever they want to do its there lives!"

Answer 9

Good question! I think that when people get married their moms miss 'em and interfere in their marriages, but their dads are just so glad to get their wife back after all those years...

I am the youngest in my family and when I'd been married about 10 yrs my dad once told me that you never really start living till your last child leaves home.

Yeah, that was hard to get over!

Answer 10

We do, they are called mothers in law

Answer 11

There's NOTHING funny about my father-in-law...he would lead into more of a Dennis Miller-style rant!
