Hope you don't mind a correction

The way this joke goes is that how do we know that Achashveirosh had two wives? Because it says Vashti Asisu Mishtei Nashim-that there were two of her and furthermore it says vachamoso bara bo-referring to Achashveirosh and vachamoso hamelech shachocho, that he had two mothers' in law; baara bo and shachocho!
