What you want is a television set
Bertha was a very pretty girl. Quite a lot of young men wanted to marry her, but she was not satisfied with any of them.
One day, one of the young men came to visit her and asked her to become his wife. She answered, "No, John, I won‘t marry you. I want to marry a man who is famous, who can play music m sing and dance very well, who can tell interesting stories, who does not smoke or drink , who stays at home in the evenings and who stops talking when I‘m tired of listening."
The young man got up, took his coat and went to the door, but before he left the house, he turned and said to Bertha, "It isn‘t a man you‘re looking for. It‘s a television set."
