A middle-aged man was talking to his elderly father. “Dad, I remember when I first started dating, you gave me that advice: ‘Good companion, good in everything, good with kids – pick two.’ The father smiled and nodded. “Well, I’ve got a great life. My wife is wonderful and an amazing mother to our three kids.” The father smiled knowingly and replied, “That’s great, son, but remember, when I said ‘pick two,’ I meant it in a different order.” See more Previous joke Two Old Men Were Sitting In A Restaurant.
