Three young women are at a cocktail party. The conversation turns to their position in life, and it's clear that they're trying to one-up each other.
The first one says, "My husband is taking me to the French Riviera for two weeks on vacation," and then looks at the others with a superior demeanor. The second one says, "Well, my husband just bought me a new Mercedes," and looks about with considerable pride.
Young woman number three says:
- Well, to be perfectly honest with you, we don't have much money and we don't have many material possessions. However, one thing I can tell you about my husband is that fourteen canaries can stand shoulder to shoulder on his erect penis.
After this, the first one looks shamefaced and says:
- Girls, I've got a confession to make: I was just trying to impress you. You know that vacation I was telling you about? Well, it's not to the French Riviera, it's to my folks' house in Terre Haute for two weeks.
The second one says:
- Your honesty has shamed me. It's not a Mercedes; it's a Plymouth.
Well, I've got a confession to make myself: Canary number fourteen has to stand on one leg.
