For years, the young attorney had been taking vacations at a
country inn. The last time he'd finally managed an affair with
the innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an exciting few
days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then
stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!

"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were
pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could
have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!"

"Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition,
we sat up all night talking and talking, and decided it would be
better to have a ##### in the family than a lawyer."
