Strangest Lawsuit ever?

Taken from http://uk.news.yahoo.com/blog/editor...article/26357/

I see a lot of strange news stories in this job and this one, which was featured recently in a German newspaper, is up there with the strangest.A judge in Stuttgart, Germany, is currently trying to decide on a lawsuit in which a man hired his neighbour to impregnate his wife.

It gets weirder.

Demetrius Soupolos, 29, and his former beauty queen wife, Traute, were very keen to have a child together, but Demetrius was sterile so they began to seek out other possible options.
The option the couple eventually decided on was to hire their neighbour Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate Traute.
Maus, who was already married with two children agreed to do the job for the fee of €2,000. For three evenings a week for the next six months, a total of 72 different times, Maus tried to impregnate Traute.

When his own wife objected, Maus explained that he was "only doing it for the money."

After the unsuccessful six-month period Soupolos insisted that Maus take a medical examination. The doctor concluded that Maus was also sterile, which forced his wife into admitting that their two children did not belong to him.

Soupolos is now suing Maus in an effort to get his money back. Maus' argument is that he did not guarantee conception, only that he would try his hardest.

Ok. If she is that good looking, I'll try my hardest for her for nothing. Just don't anyone every say I am not trying to help my fellow human being.

A true humanitarian. I knew deep down you really are concerned with your fellow man. Not to mention a solid supporter of women's movement.

Why won't a former beauty queen move next door to me and have a husband who shoots blanks and needs my services?

Get on the Internet and google the slang term in German "Maus"

I say no more in great fear of infractions. Just another curious coincidence.
