>>A young
lady in the maternity ward, just prior to labor, is asked by the
>>midwife
if she would like her husband to be present at the birth.
>>
>>"I'm
afraid I don't have a husband," she replies.
>>
>>"O.K.
do you have a boyfriend?" asks the Midwife.
>>
>>"No,
no boyfriend either."
>>
>>"Do
you have a partner then?"
>>
>>"No,
I'm unattached; I'll be having the baby on my own."
>>
>>After
the birth the midwife again speaks to the young woman. "You have a
>>healthy
bouncing baby girl, but I must warn you before you see her that
>>the
baby is black."
>>
>>"Well,"
replies the girl. "I was very down on my luck, with no money and
>>nowhere
to live, and so I accepted a job in an adult movie. The lead man
>>was
black."
>>
>>"Oh,
I'm very sorry," says the midwife, "that's really none of my business
>>and I'm
sorry that I have to ask you these awkward questions but I must
>>also
tell you that the baby has blonde hair."
>>
>>"Well
yes," the girl again replies, "you see I desperately needed the
>>money
and there was this Swedish guy also involved in the movie, what else
>>could I
do?"
>>
>>"Oh,
I'm sorry," the midwife repeats, "that's really none of my business
>>and I
hate to pry further but your baby has slanted eyes."
>>
>>Well
yes," continues the girl, "I was incredibly hard up and there was a
>>little
Chinese man also in the movie, I really had no choice."
>>
>>At this
the midwife again apologizes collects the baby and presents her to
>>the
girl, who immediately proceeds to give baby a slap on the rear.
>>
>>The
baby starts crying and the mother exclaims, "Well thank God for
that!"
>>
>>"What
do you mean?!" says the midwife, shocked.
>>
>>"Well,"
says the girl extremely relieved, "I had this horrible feeling
>>t I that she was going to bark."
