A man's house is on fire. No help is in sight so he takes matters into his own hands.

He runs out of the house with his son and tells him to wait outside.

Then he runs back in to get his daughter  and brings her outside.

Then his wife, next the dog and finally the cat.

He goes back in again three times without bringing out anybody or anything.

So a curious bystander  ask him why he keeps going in and coming out empty handed?

The man replied "i'm turning over my mother in-law"
