Jerry Jones is enjoying all the attention he's getting from having his son-in-law clean his father-in-law's glasses on national television. The Cowboys owner and general manager was asked about it Friday and laughed throughout the majority of his answer.

"Well, one of the things that I would do if I were another human on this planet is not sit near me at a ballgame because you could get compromised by what really is happening," Jones said on 105.3 KRLD-FM's Elf and Slater show. "And, of course, that was Shy Anderson, my son-in-law, who's a vital part of our organization. [He was] trying to just help his father-in-law where he could see the ballgame. He reached down and say those things need cleaning. He's paying the price on it. We'll figure it out.

"I heard that somebody might need to be shining my shoes up there. Somebody else serving me hors d'oeuvres in between the huddle. We'll get this done right. Had you told me last week that we're going to be able to laugh and smile about this and this would be something fun and notable to talk about, I would have taken that in a minute. I was about to die up there. About to swallow my tongue."

Asked for more detail, Jones obliged.

"Listen, those things were fogged over, dirty, they had all kinds of prints on them," Jones said. "He just reached down there and said, ‘Hand me those. You need some help.' We're having fun with it, too. And one of the great things about him is he does have a big-time sense of humor. We're having more fun about how ridiculous it is. But it's fun. Let's keep it going."
