I was thinking, "Pick 4 different sauces to put on your mother?" Kinda like that old joke, "How do you make a dead baby float?" Does anyone besides me remember dead baby jokes and elephant jokes?

They are called "Mother Sauces" because ummm ... you know ... everyone knows that the Mother Sauces were specifically named for a reason so obvious... it's just not worth the effort to tell you if you don't know.
