She's Done It Again

Take a gambler with debts and a pregnant wife. Take a parson with a pregnant wife who has mislaid £200 of church money. Take a bookie, also with a pregnant wife who is about to collect the gambler’s debts. Put them all together and the wives produce five babies between them. Put a few heads together, then claim that one of the wives produced all five babies. Result: an imaginary set of quins and a fortune in money, or not, as the case may be. A furiously funny frolic.
