The Brother-in-law

If they keep on doing that, just put them off and don't let them ride again," explained Carmen, her assistant supervisor, and went away.
            Five minutes had hardly passed. Debra came and turned to Ani:
            "Hi, um… Where's your badge? What's your name?"
            "Ani."
            "Ok Ani, I want you to go to another ride. It's called 'merry-go-round.' Someone of your fellow workers will explain the operational procedures to you."
             Among the fellow workers was a cute blond girl who seemed to have worked on the ride for quite a long time. She felt herself quite confident on the ride. Seeing Ani's confused face, she approached her.

"Hi," she said, "I'm Lena from Estonia, nice to meet you."
"Hello, and I'm Ani from Armenia. Nice to meet you, too."
"From Armenia? That's cool. I met a guy from Armenia yesterday. His name was Gurgen. Do you know him?"
"Do I know him? But of course I do! He’s my brother-in-law."
"Your what? You mean he's your husband's brother?"
"No, he's my sister's husband. I'm not married."
"He's your sister's husband?" asked the girl again.
"Sure he is. What is so strange about that?"
"Well, yesterday he told me he was single. D'you know what I mean?"
"If he's single, then my skin is blue," answered Ani and added, "he is not only married but also has a child!"
