Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

"Take my mother-in-law please," isn't a joke you're likely to hear often these days from Sunda Croonquist. The veteran comic is being sued by her mother-in-law after making her the punchline of too many jokes. The mother-in-law is accusing Croonquist of spreading false, defamatory and racist lies with in-law jokes that have become a staple of her routine in nightclubs and on television channels like Comedy Central.

he's so full of himself, so i'll say, "dad, can we have a nap and then resume talking about you some more?" he affectionately says to my husband, "son, tell that wife of yours..."

Since I'm now a father in law.. I'm sending this article to my sons and daughter-in-law as a warning..

My retirement fund could use a boost..

(my kids posted a pic of me on facebook, along with a story saying that having a belly was now sexy... I'm suing)

A constantly nagged and harried husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift.

The next year Christmas came again and this year he didn't buy her any gift.

Mother-in-law was upset and asked the son-in-law why was she forgotten this time.

The angry son-in-law responded, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

When the man came home, his wife was crying.

"Your mother insulted me," she sobbed.

"My mother? How could she do that when she is on vacation on the other side of the world?" the man asked.

"I know. But this morning a letter addressed to you arrived. I opened it because I was curious."

"And?"

"At the end of the letter it was written:

PS. Dear Diane, when you have finished reading this letter, don't forget to give it to my son."

Bill: I was sorry to hear that your mother-in-law died. What was the complaint?
George: We haven't had any yet.

A man who hated his mother-in-law got three wishes from a genie.
Genie: "Whatever you wish for, your mother-in-law gets DOUBLE."
First wish: "I would like one billion dollars."
Genie: "Ok but mom get's two billion."
Second wish: "I would like an island off the coast of Greece."
Genie: "OK but mom get's two islands."
Third wish: " I would like you to beat me half to death."

What's the definition of mixed emotions?

When you see your new mother-in law backing off a cliff in your new Mercedes.

PAHDUM!

Q. Is it possible to kill a mother-in-law with newspaper?A. Yes, if you wrap an iron in it.

The lawsuit was filed by mother-in-law Ruth Zafrin, her daughter, Shelley Edelman, and Shelley's husband, Neil. Neither Zafrin, the Edelmans nor their attorney, Lawrence H. Wertheim, returned calls for comment.

Schmucks.

Attorney Gary L. Bostwick, an expert in First Amendment law who isn't involved in the case, said suing a comedian is often difficult because courts tend to rule that it should be obvious they are joking.

Ya think?/snark>

In one of the most prominent such cases, the Rev. Jerry Falwell lost when he sued Hustler magazine in the 1980s for stating in an ad parody that the preacher had lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.

^_^

A fuggin' classic was that.

/In case anyone missed it.

So these schmucks figured they could sue a comic for telling jokes?

And *this* action was supposed to stop people from making fun of them?

Wow, just wow.

Can you say "counter-productive"?

Thought ya could.

Be Well.

/Linked hawter than a branding iron in Hell.

I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport. Henny Youngman.. my all time favorite comedian..

and, not that it has anything to do w mother in laws.. (just another Henny joke)

A doctor says to a man, "You want to improve your love life? You need to get some exercise. Run ten miles a day." Two weeks later, the man called the doctor. The doctor says, "How is your love life since you have been running?" "I don't know, I'm 140 miles away!"

a man i used to work with used to say about his mother in law: she's sooooooooooooo fat that if she were an inch taller she'd be ROUND!

If she's making money off her in-laws, better pay them something....

Not telling!!! I will say that despite sweating in the gym more hours than I find fun, it seems to stay there.. ah getting old is such fun..

I make fun of my ex and her family in my blog all the time and it ain't tongue-in-cheek either let 'em sue me you can't get blood from a stone

Looks like the suite was filed in California. Not good for the mother-in-law filing the suit. California has a tough anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) law so if you so someone over a 1st Amendment claim (defamation, slander, etc) and you lose, you have to pay for the defendants legal bills.

People who can't take a joke need to go soak their fucking nanc.

This woman needs to be slapped, by a cast iron skillet.

Satan should be her name
To me they're 'bout the same
Every time I open my mouth
She steps in, tries to put me out
How could she stoop so low

I'd like to file suit against all the unfunny jokes posted above
