A joke " Hard to support a family"

The economic crisis lately makes people having difficulties to find a job, to earn for living. Today would like to share the following joke.....

Tom and James chatted in a pub.
Tom said, "It's hard to raise a family in such a depressing economy."
James said, "How many kids do you have?"
Tom said, "Five."
James said, "Wow... That's really a burden to raise five children."
Tom said, "To raise five kids is hard, however, to raise their five mothers is even harder."

James was at a loss for words .......

Hey, if you were James, what would you say..... please contribute.
