Quote:IT TOOK A VERY BRAVE MAN TO WRITE THIS…
A son asked his mother the following question: 'Mom, why are wedding dresses white? '
The mother looks at her son and replies: 'Son, this shows your friends and relatives that your bride is pure.'
The son thanks his Mom and goes off to double-check this with his father.
‘Dad why are wedding dresses white?’ he asks.
The father looks at his son in surprise and says: 'Son, all household appliances come in white.'
He is still in intensive care with a prognosis of very slow recovery.
