The next day, the boss asks him how the delivery went, and if the baby is a boy or a girl. “I don’t know. I’ll tell you in nine months” is the answer.

I said to my boss the other day, “I need to leave early today, I’m going to be a father!”
“Of course”, he replied. “Take the afternoon off.”

When I returned to work the next day, my boss came to my desk. “Well, how’d it go? Is it a boy or a girl?”

“I dunno”, I said, “I’ll tell you in nine months.”
