Fred

red is 34 years old and he is still single. 

One day, a friend asked, "Why are you not married? Can you not find a woman who will be a good wife?" 

Fred replied, "Actually, I have found many women that I have wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother does not like them." 

His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I have the perfect solution, why not find a girl who is just like your mother?" 

A few months later, they meet again and his friend says, "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. You were right, my mother liked her very much." 

The friend said, "Then what is the problem?" 

Sadly, Fred replied, "My father does not like her."
