On "Ricki Lake" the other day, a lesbian brought down the house when disclosing to her coarse, wide-bodied girlfriend that she was pregnant. The girlfriend's jaw dropped.

The pregnant woman laughed, the fetus in her belly becoming a punch line without anyone asking what would become of it. If this was on the level, was she planning to have the child?
