Great Idea!

A father-in-law offers his newly-married son-in-law equal partnership in his multi million dollar business. "You'll do the work in the factory," he says. "I'll do the office work."
The son-in-law isn't too keen on the idea. "I hate the factory. It's too noisy and hectic."
What wouldn't a new Father-in-law do to please his son-in-law? And so he offers him the office work.
"But the office is boring and claustrophobic…!" the young man protests.
By now, the father-in-law is at loss: "What are we gonna do with you? You were just offered equal partnership in a flourishing, multimillion-dollar company and you turned it down?!"
The younger guy is undaunted. "I got an idea," he says. "Why don't you buy me out?"
