DOCTORS ARE NEVER WRONG

THIS IS A SURE FIRE METHOD FOR A DOCTOR TO BE 100% CORRECT
IN DETERMINING THE SEX OF THE UNBORN CHILD: TELL THE
MOTHER ONE SEX VERBALLY AND WRITE THE OPPOSITE ONE DOWN
ON PAPER FOR FUTURE USE. WHEN THE BABY IS BORN, THE
DOCTOR SAYS DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME SAYING THAT, AND IF
SHE OBJECTS, THAT SHE KNOWS HE SAID THE OPPOSITE, HE
PULLS OUT THE PAPER AND PRESENTS THAT TO HER AS EVIDENCE
THAT HE SAID THAT SEX.
