My fiancée, Vivian Lane, said, "I'm worried you'll be exhausted. How about letting Alex Grant stand in for you at our wedding next week?

"If you say no, I'll call off the marriage, but I'm keeping the wedding gift." I said, "The thought of you going through labor breaks my heart.

Vivian yelled, "You bastard, get back here!" Then, with a sudden gasp, she coughed up blood.
