The in-laws

What is a brother-in-law? What is a sister-in-law? Isn't it just your wife's brother or sister? Or even your sibilings' spouses?

Yeah, well what about the spouses of your siblings-in-laws? They're in-laws too, right? Well, that depends on who you talk to. If you talk to me, no. I mean seriously, if they are your in-laws, then their siblings are also your in-laws too...and their in-laws? And all of a sudden I come to find that Walt Disney was my great-great-in-law. And Mickey Mouse was his brain child, so Mickey Mouse and I are actually kind of related, and nobody can find anyone to date that isn't an in-law, and we all move to Arkansas to get hitched to our relatives.


Although, it would be nice to have so many connections.

I always thought it was Missouri that was famous for big "in-laws" families. No?

Don't try to make out like we may not be family now, Jon. You are stuck with me, Bro!
