Funniest Lawsuit Ever?

[TLH]

Strangest lawsuit ever?

I see a lot of strange news stories in this job and this one, which was featured recently in a German newspaper, is up there with the strangest.A judge in Stuttgart, Germany, is currently trying to decide on a lawsuit in which a man hired his neighbour to impregnate his wife.

It gets weirder.

Demetrius Soupolos, 29, and his former beauty queen wife, Traute, were very keen to have a child together, but Demetrius was sterile so they began to seek out other possible options.

The option the couple eventually decided on was to hire their neighbour Frank Maus, 34, to impregnate Traute.

Maus, who was already married with two children agreed to do the job for the fee of €2,000. For three evenings a week for the next six months, a total of 72 different times, Maus tried to impregnate Traute.

When his own wife objected, Maus explained that he was "only doing it for the money."

After the unsuccessful six-month period Soupolos insisted that Maus take a medical examination. The doctor concluded that Maus was also sterile, which forced his wife into admitting that their two children did not belong to him.

Soupolos is now suing Maus in an effort to get his money back. Maus' argument is that he did not guarantee conception, only that he would try his hardest.

That's... pretty damn funny. Let's ruin a two marriages for $2000 + have a round of "who's your daddy?"

So...

Man can't have kids with wife, man ask neighbor to do the job for him, neighbor can't have kids either, neighbor's wife tells him that his kids aren't really his, man sues neighbor for nothing getting the job done.

The guy basically wanted a refund for the sex his wife had with another guy...boy, those Germans are something else.

This is something that would have had Jerry Springer salivating because it wouldn't be staged.

This sounds like a bad british comedy.

Six months? Lol, at least he was diligent. Can you imagine what those early conversations must've been like?

Frank - "Honey, I'm going next door."

Frank's Wife - "We don't need the money; you don't have to do this."

Frank - "No, that's not right. We should put their need to have kids ahead of how we feel. Think about it. How would you feel if we wanted to have children, but I was sterile, so someone else was responsible for impregnating you?"

Frank's Wife - *mind blown*

Maus: I did my best. Again and again. It was all for you buddy.

Soupolos: Try harder, better, faster, stronger.
