Oh Brother, Can You Spare Your Wife?

It is reported that a man in Germany did more than borrow a cup of sugar when he asked his neighbor to impregnate his wife for $2,500.

Demetrius Soupolos was sterile and unable to have children with his former beauty-queen wife, Truate. He offered to pay his neighbor, Frank Maus, who looked like him and had a couple kids as proof that his boys could swim, $2,500 to knock up his wife. However, after 72 sexual encounters over a six-month period, Maus failed to put a baby into Truate’s belly. Demetrius then demanded his neighbor have a medical examination or give him back the money.

Much to the men’s surprise, Maus was found to be sterile as well. But not to Maus’ wife’s surprise — she was forced to confess she always knew Maus wasn’t the real father of their children. Long story short, Soupolos is suing Maus, and Maus is countering with the always popular “I didn’t guarantee contraception, I just gave it my best effort over and over again” defense.

Now, if you divide $2,500 by 72 you get $35 per non-artificial insemination attempt. Not a bad deal for this friendly and always willing to help out a neighbor in pinch. It does make one wonder if they could not have just used the old turkey baster insemination to do the trick. Another question remaining is how much did Mrs. Maus have to pay to have her two boys?

The moral of this story is that Mr. Maus should have just given Mr. Soupolos his money back and called it even.
