A girl had been dating a very wealthy boy for a few months and suddenly discovered she was pregnant.

She tearfully broke the news to her father, who immediately confronted the father of the boy.

"Now, now, don't get excited," the millionaire told the girl's father. "I'm certainly going to do the right thing by your daughter. If the child is a boy, I'll give him one hundred thousand dollars and if it's a girl, seventyfive thousand dollars. Isn't that fair enough?"

"And if she should have a miscarriage," asked the girl's father, "will you give her another chance?"
