Half Sisters

One Sunday morning George 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 only a street away and her name is
Susan Hoffman."

After dinner, George's dad took him aside and said, "Son, I have to
talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married
30 years, and she's a wonderful wife and mother, but she has never
offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I fooled around with other
women a lot. Susan Hoffman is actually your half sister, so I'm afraid
you can't marry her."

George was broken-hearted. After eight months, he started dating girls
again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said
yes! We're getting married in June."

Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the
sad news: "Diane is your half sister too, George. I'm awfully sorry
about this."

George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news
his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never
going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad
tells me the girl is my half sister."

"Hah," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention
to what he says. He's not really your father!"
