Rear problems

Let's try a joke in Estonian! A husband and wife situation. The wife is asking whether her rear would look smaller if she put her hair up in a bun. There are four võimalikud vastusevariandid in the thought balloon. What would you answer, and would you fare any better - since each answer anda mõista, et on suur tagumik. Perhaps the problem is in the question... For more similar anecdotes and jokes, go to igav.ee
