Subject: Where do redheaded babies come from
After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the
obstetrician.
"Doctor," the man said, "I don't mind telling you, but I'm more than a
little concerned, because my daughter has red hair ... she can't
possibly be mine."
"Nonsense," the doctor said. "Even though you and your wife both have
black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the
gene pool."
"It isn't possible," the man insisted. "This can't be, because our
families, on both sides, had jet-black hair for generations."
"Well," said the doctor, "let me ask you this. How often do you have
sex?"
The man seemed a bit ashamed, but answered "I've been working very
hard for the past year ... we only made love once or twice every few
months."
"Well, there you are then !" the doctor said confidently ... "It's
rust."
