>>     for 2 months.
>>
>>     Very worried, the mother goes to the local pharmacy and buys a
>>     pregnancy test kit The test confirms that her daughter is pregnant.
>>     
>>     Shouting and crying, the mother says, "Who was the selfish b*****d
>>     that did this to you? I demand to know!"
>>     
>>     Without answering, the girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half
>>     an hour later, a Bentley stops in front of their house. A middle-aged
>>     and very distinguished man  steps out of the car and enters the house.
>>     
>>     He sits in the lounge with the father and mother, and tells them,
>>     "Your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her
>>     because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will
>>     pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life."
>>     
>>     He continues, "Additionally, if a girl is born I will bequeath two
>>     retail furniture stores, a deli, a chateau in France and a £1m bank account."
>>     
>>     He continues, "If a boy is born my legacy will be a chain of jewellery
>>     stores and a £25m bank account."
>>     
>>     "However, if there is a miscarriage I'm not sure what to do. What
>>     would you suggest?"
>>     
>>     All silent at this point, the mother placed a hand firmly on the man's
>>     shoulder and told him, "You'll try again."
