Family Problems

A friend of mine sent me this joke.
-----------------------------------------

Two men, one American and an Indian were sitting in a bar drinking shot after shot.

The Indian man said to the American, You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely girl from a village whom I haven't even met once. We call this arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a woman whom I don't love...I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family problems."

The American said, "Talking about love Marriages...I'll tell you my story. I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years.
After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law. My daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son.Now my father's son i.e. my brother is my grandson.Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson.And you say you have family problems...Gimme a break!!"

Its a very nice example of Gandhi's Talisman which states

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen facing the similar problem but with more intensity, and then ask yourself, will find your doubts and problem melt away."
