The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.
The class was in full swing.
The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to their wives at this stage of the pregnancy.
She said "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just take several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."
She looked at the men in the room, "and Gentlemen, remember -- You're in this together -- It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her".
The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information.
Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.
"Yes", answered the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be alright if she carries a golf bag while we walk?
This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught

Steve, Bob and Jeff are all working on some very high scaffolding.
Suddenly, Steve falls off and is killed instantly. After the ambulance leaves with Steve's body, Bob and Jeff realise they'll have to inform his wife. Bob says he's good with this sort of sensitive stuff, so he volunteers to do it.
After two hours, he returns carrying a six-pack of beer.
"So, did you tell her?" Asks Jeff.
"Yep." Replies Bob.
"Hey, where did you get the six-pack?"
"She gave it to me."
"What?!" Exclaims Jeff. "You just told her that her husband died, and she gave you a six-pack?!"
"Sure. When she answered the door, I asked her whether she was Steve's widow. 'Widow?' She said. 'No, no..I'm not a widow. You must be mistaken.' So I said, 'I'll bet you a six-pack you are!'"
