(humorous story)

One Sunday morning Joe burst into the living room and said, “Dad, Mom, I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in our town. She lives a block away, and her name is Susan.

After dinner, Joe’s Dad took him aside, “Son, I have to talk with you… Your Mom and I have been married for 30 years. She’s a wonderful wife, but she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot. Susan is actually your half-sister, and I’m afraid you can’t marry her.”

Joe was heart-broken. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, “Dianne said yes! We are getting married in June.”

Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. “Diane is your half-sister too, Joe, I am very sorry about this.”

Joe was furious! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news.

“Dad has done so much harm. I guess I am never going to get married,” he complained. “Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half-sister.”

His mother just smiled and shook her head, “I know that your Dad is a skirt-happy man. I tried to break his habit to sleep around and did not lose my time. I had a fancy man too… Therefore, don’t pay any attention to what he says, dear. He’s not really your father.”
