So a young married couple from different ethnic backgrounds...

Edited on Sun Apr-27-08 12:42 AM by Godhumor
Are celebrating the birth of identical twin boys. To honor their heritages they decide each of them will name a son in his or her own tradition. The father, who is Arabic, names one son Jamal, meaning handsome in his native tongue. The mother, who is from Spain, honors her Catholic beliefs by naming the other son Juan, which means God is gracious.

A few days after the mother returns home from the hospital the couple throws a big party, so their friends and family can meet the new children. While working the room, the obviously tired father comes across a friend examining the twins in their bassinets. They chat for a few minutes before the friend waves his hand at the identical twins and asks the father, "How can you tell them apart?"

The father looks at his boys, shrugs his shoulders, and replies, "If you've seen Juan, you've seen Jamal."
