Imagine finding this out
Today is the birthday of a good friend and have known him from back in our early schooldays . I called him at his home just after lunchtime to wish him a happy 50th birthday .
He said that the party was not really how he hoped it'd to be . His brothers family worries being the cause . Fredo is a real funny and outgoing guy and he went on to tell what the problem is .. His brother Carl has been married for 25 years and that union produced 4 children . He always had some doubt about if he fathered the last born daughter because the physical resemblance compared to his other children is not really there at all . Since his wife has filed for divorce he thought it was a good idea to check with a test that can be bought over the counter in Germany if his youngest daughter was his or not . Easy test : Saliva samples of the youngest daughter and his on the sticks , sealed and it goes of via post to Germany and after about 6 weeks he got the verdict back in the post . ... 99,8 % sure to be his daughter . All seemed well .. or did it ? Now , the rest of the story .. When he was shopping around to get one of those tests he initially bought one over the internet , as the test never got to his house he assumed that he got ripped off and left it at that . A friend brought him the test back from Germany a week later . The test bought on the internet arrived weeks after he got the test back from the "German" one . So what to do with the spare test ? You guessed it .. as the youngest daughter is his but does not resemble his 3 other daughters at all .... hmmm Got it ! .. he did the test on his second daughter . Result comes back 8 weeks later ... NOT A HOPE IN HELL THAT SHE IS HIS Same week he drove to Germany to get 4 more tests .. The 2 other girls got subjected to the same test and also the 2 girls that already had the test done just to double check .. result came back last week . 3 oldest daughters are NOT his .. only the youngest is confirmed as being his . What I understand these tests are not legally valid in Switzerland so now he will have to try and get a judge to order an official test in Switzerland . My friend said that when his brother announced all this officially this morning to quite a few family members and friends present for the birthday party .. he said that the reaction was the most impressive fireworks display he'd ever seen ...
