A very handsome man decided he had the God-given responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce perfect children.

With that as his mission, he began searching for the woman. After a long period of searching, he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters that took his breath away. So he explained his mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them. The farmer just replied,

“They’re all looking to get married, so you came to the right place. Look them over and select the one you want.”

The man dated the first daughter. The next day the farmer asked for the man’s opinion.

“Well,” said the man, ” She’s just a little bit, not that you can hardly notice, but pigeon-toed.”

The farmer nodded and suggested to date one of the other girls. So the man went out with the second daughter. The next day, the farmer again asked the man’s opinion.

“Well,” the man replied, “She’s just a little bit, not that you can hardly tell, cross-eyed.”

The farmer nodded and suggested to date the third girl to see if things might be better. So the man did. The next morning he rushed in with excitement,

“She’s perfect! She’s the one I want to marry!”

So they got married and right away. Months later the baby was born. When the man visited the nursery he was horrified: the baby was the ugliest, most pathetic baby. He came to his father-in-law asking how such a thing could happen.

“Well,” answered the farmer, “She was just a little bit, not that you could hardly tell, pregnant when you met her.”
