Someone Else Pregnancy Detector

I read in an etiquette book that you shouldn't assume a woman is pregnant unless you see an actual baby coming out of her. Yes, everyone is afraid of finding out unexpectedly that a woman is not pregnant, but just fat. As a result, truly pregnant women aren't getting the congratulations and attention that they deserve.

This credit card-sized device works like a portable sonagram, and can detect unborn babies from up to 10 feet away. There is no need to take it out of your pocket to use it, either. Activate it, then excuse yourself and check the results in private. A pink "+" indicates the presence of a living, writhing fetus inside her; a pink "-" together with an indistinct pinkish vertical crossbar indicates a negative.

Not only is this product useful on women who look pregnant but you are not sure, and for first dates with women who may have lied on their personal ads, but it is especially useful for parents of teenage girls. No longer will their daughters be able to wear baggy clothes or starve themselves in order to conceal their pregnancy from their parents. Earlier detection means earlier solutions.

Thank you.

       Wait, pregnant is a pink +, and not pregnant is a pink - with a vertical I? Isn't gonna look a lot like the +? What are you doing to my head? Are you or aren't you pregnant? Wait till I tell your father!

       I dunno. Sounds like invasion of privacy to me.

       Remote pregnancy test? Handheld sonogram? I don't think so.

       Second DrC – invasion of privacy.
