From Ernie:
One Sunday morning William 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 town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan.
After dinner, William’s dad took him aside.
“Son, I have to talk with you. Your mother and I have been married 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.”
William 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’re getting married in June!”
Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news.
