For several years, a Marine Major had been taking his brief leaves at this
country inn. Over time he had grown closer and closer to the innkeeper's daughter.
The last time he had visited the inn he had a brief affair with the innkeeper's
daughter. He was then deployed for about a year on an overseas assignment. When
he returned he headed to his favorite inn looking forward to a little R&R
and hoping to rekindle his torrid affair. Dragging his gear up the stairs of
the inn he was brought up short as there sat his lover with an infant son on
her lap!
"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant? he cried.
"I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married and the baby
would have my name!" he added.
"Well", she said, "when my folks found out about my condition,
we sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and we decided it would be better to
have a bastard in the family than a Marine."
