"Your uncle is your father's brother." ... my mother's brothers (my uncles) are also my father's brothers? Sounds like a strange family.
Sigh... writing good documentation is hard.

If you can flip it around and get an implied in-law that makes everything fine, then you should be able to flip it around again and say that your father's brother-in-law's sister-in-law is your aunt.

My father's sister's husbands and my mother's sister's husbands would all be my uncles (if my father and mother both had sisters who were married to men). However, not all of my uncles are my father's brothers. Some of them are my mother's brothers.
"all X are also Y" does not imply "all Y are also X". Common (sic) people, logic isn't that hard.

Of course. I thought that is what you were poking fun at, by implying the opposite. It is certainly what I was poking fun at."all X are also Y" does not imply "all Y are also X". Common (sic) people, logic isn't that hard.

If a man and woman get married in West Virgina and then get divorced in California, are they still legally brother and sister?

Sorry to spoil the stereotype and joke with facts, but West Virgina is less legally tolerant1 of close-relative marriages than much of the rest of the world. It is one of the 302 US states that forbids 1st cousins (never mind brothers and sisters) from marrying. It is not as restrictive as some states (it is a criminal offense in 8 states), but there are 202 states in which it is legal. BTW, cousin marriage is legal in every other country in the Americas, western Europe, most of eastern Europe, Russia, northern Africa, Middle East, southern Africa, Australia, Japan, ...1 Of course, legal tolerance and cultural tolerance are not always perfectly aligned.
2 Five states straddle the fence, either forbidding it with exceptions or allowing it with restrictions.

It had to be legal in Europe and everywhere else. That was the only way "Royalty" could survive. Otherwise they'd all be "in and out laws".

My father was an only child. So was my mother. I have no uncles.

Well, since your uncles (if they existed) would be your father's brothers, and your mother would be their sister (-in-law), your father is your uncle because he is your uncles' sister's husband (if you had uncles). Or, to put it another way, your father is your mother's brother, so he is also your uncle. I hope that helps clear things up.

Just to muddy the waters even further, I know two girls who are (legally) married to their brother-in-laws.
