Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law

Summary

This humorous quote implies that the person's mother-in-law is not someone they enjoy being around. Rather than going on a traditional pleasure trip, they found pleasure in taking her to the airport as it meant they were saying goodbye for a while. It underscores the often less-than-pleasant relationship some individuals have with their in-laws and reflects the relief or satisfaction they may feel when they have some space from them.

These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.
