There's a Mother's Day card for everyone

Tough-looking couple in their 30s browsing through Mother's Day cards at drugstore:

The man, looking at one and reading to his girlfriend: Hey what is this?  It makes no sense.  I don't get it.  Look.  The front says "Hey Mom, I'm not a stripper and I'm not in jail."  Then you open it up and it says "Good job, Mom."  What is that?  What's that mean?  I don't get it.  What kind of card is that?  It makes no sense.  Like is it sarcastic or something?

The woman: No, babe, it's a card for people who aren't strippers and haven't been to prison.

The man: Huh? 

The woman: Like not everyone can get that card.  Like if you're NOT a stripper and you HAVEN'T been to prison, then you can get that card.  'Cause then your mom did a good job.  'Cause you're not a stripper and you're not in prison.

The man, gears starting to turn but not quite getting there: ...So... like...

The woman: So like Adrianna? She definitely can't get that card for her mom.

The man, thinking about it: ....'Cause she's both a stripper and in prison....

The woman: Right.  Adrianna's a stripper in prison so she can't thank her mom for doing a good job and raising her to not be a stripper in prison.  But some people can. 

The man: Oh okay.  Yeah I get it now.  Ha.  Yeah.  Oh that's funny.
