Jim pondered aloud one morning to his wife, "Why do you always cut off the ends of sausages when you cook them?"

His wife replied, "I learned that from my mother. If you're interested, ask her yourself."

Intrigued, Jim sought out his mother-in-law and posed the same question: "Why do you always cut off the ends of sausages when cooking them?"

She responded, "I don't know, my mother taught me that. If you're curious, call her."

Determined to uncover the mystery, Jim dialed up and inquired: "This is Jimmy, your granddaughter (my wife) and your daughter (my mother-in-law) always cut off the ends when cooking sausages, saying that you taught them. What's the point?"

To this, she replied, "Are you still using my little saucepan to cook those sausages?"
