The father in the next story got quite the shock when he noticed a detail on his newborn daughter’s appearance – but thankfully, doctors always have an answer!
A couple had just had their first child. But something was wrong, so the father rushed in panic to the doctor who helped the mother with delivery.
“I’m not her real dad!”
The dad grabbed the doctor by the arm.
“Doctor!” Screamed the father. “I don’t know how I should say this, but I am horrified by the fact that my daughter has red hair! So how can I even be sure I’m her real father?!”
“Ah… Nonsense.” said the doctor. “Even if both you and your wife have jet black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed with redhead genes somewhere along your lineage.”
“How often do you have sex?”
But the father refused to give in and continued to quarrel.
“No! That’s impossible. There is absolutely no way – even our parents, and their parents, were black-haired and have been for several generations,” said the father.
“Okay. Fair enough. Then tell me – how often do you and your wife have coitus?” asked the doctor.
The father was a little embarrassed by the question, but thought about it and answered:
The doctor smiled.
“Aha! There you have it!” said the doctor, relieved. “It’s rust!”
Hardly the answer this dad was expecting or hoped for!
