Bill Prawn Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 A twenty-one-year-old girl tells her Mum that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the chemists and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting and cursing, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man, impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit, steps out of the car and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl, and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I'm very sorry, but I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I WILL take charge." He continued, "If a girl is born, I will bequeath her two retail stores, a townhouse, a beach villa and a £1,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a £2,000,000 bank account. If it is twins, a factory and £1,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?" At this point, the father who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "That you try again." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 It just doesn't flow - "That you try again" fails as a sentence fragment. Something like "I'd suggest you try again" would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
