It is a hot and humid summer day in Indiana. A middle-age woman is being taken out for Sunday dinner after church by her husband, their teenage son (17), married son (26) and lovely daughter-in-law.
The oldest son drives, so mom is squished into the tiny backseat between a surly 6'4" teenager and a sweating 250 lb husband. Mom sits quietly while son and husband fidget in the repressive heat.
The conversation turns to a popular TV show that the three young people watched the previous night. They are discussing the details with great enthusiasm while mom and dad listen silently.
Finally, the oldest son asks his mother: "Didn't you guys see the show?"
Mom: "No."
Oldest son: "You should've watched it. It was great!"
Teenage son: "They don't have a life."
Oldest son, scolding younger brother in the rearview mirror: "They were probably busy."
Teenage son: "They're never busy."
Oldest son: "Maybe they had something better to do."
Teenage son: "Like what? They're too old to have fun."
Dad looks at wife in the crowded backseat and asks, "Why DID we miss the show?"
Mom looks back at him: "We were having sex."
Pandemonium breaks out and chaos ensues.
Curtain closes.

You've posted this one before but I still burst out laughing, joining in the pandemonium. Good thing I wasn't drinking...
