A young couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither wanted to  concede  their position.

　　As they passed a  barnyard of mules and pigs, the husband sarcastically asked, "Are they relatives of yours?"

　　"Yes," his wife replied. "I married into the family."
