'British Airways'....

A mother, with three daughters about to be wed, told each one of them to write back about their marriage. But to avoid possible embarrassment to their new husbands by openly discussing intimate details, the mother and daughters agreed to use newspaper advertisements as a "code" to let the mother know how their love lives are going.

The first one got married, and on the second day sent a letter saying only, "MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE." So the mother got out the newspaper and checked the Maxwell Coffee House advertisement which read: "SATISFACTION TO THE LAST DROP..." And she was happy for her daughter.

Then the second daughter was wed. After a week, the mother received the message, "BENSON & HEDGES." Again, checking her paper, she saw the store ad with the huge headline banner: "FULL SIZE, KING SIZE" And she knew her daughter was happy.

Last, the third daughter was married. The mother became anxious as time went by with no letter. Finally, after four weeks, she received a message merely stating, "BRITISH AIRWAYS." Eagerly looking at the ad, the mother fainted when she read: "THREE TIMES A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, BOTH WAYS".

"Both ways"?

I didn't know there were only two.
