An American in Paris was lamenting being separated from his family which consisted of two young daughters. Turning to an Australian he had met he asked if he had any family.
'Yes, I have a wife and six children in Australia, and I never saw one of them.'
The American was stunned for a moment and then asked, 'Were you ever blind?'
'No.'
'Did you marry a widow?'
'No.'
There was silence again, then:
'Did I understand you to say you had a wife and six children living in Australia and had never seen one of them?'
'Yes.'
'But I simply don't understand. How can that be?'
'Because,' was the reply, 'one of them was born after I left.'
