Not Getting the Job Done

Via Dave Barry..... a couple's problem.

......Demetrius Soupolos,29, and his former beauty queen wife, Traute, wanted a child badly, but Demetrius was told by a doctor that he was sterile.

The solution?

So Soupolos,after calming his wife's protests, hired his neighbor, Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate her. Since Maus was already married and the father of two children, plus looked very much like Soupolos to boot, the plan seemed good.

Yes, it sounds just peachy. You can't fault the effort,though.

.....for three evenings a week for the next six months, Maus tried desperately, a total of 72 different times, to impregnate Traute.

I wonder who kept count. As you've probably guessed, it didn't go well.

When Traute failed to get pregnant.....Soupolos was not understanding and insisted that Maus have a physical examination......

The results, with collateral damage.....

The doctor's announcement that Maus was also sterile shocked everyone except his wife, who was forced to confess that Maus was not the real father of their two children.

Now the legal action.....

....Soupolos is suing Maus for breach of contract in a effort to get his money back, but Maus refuses to give it up because he said he did not guarantee conception, but only that he would give an honest effort.
