How Could You?

When an old Senator went to her doctor for a physical, the tests revealed that she was pregnant. She was furious, because she was in the middle of her first term as Senator of a very populous State, and in a Presidential election year. She immediately called home, got her husband on the phone and started screaming, "How could you have let this happen? With all that's going on right now, you went and got me pregnant! How could you? I can't believe this! I just found out I am five weeks pregnant and it’s all, your fault! Your fault! Well, what have you got to say?"

There was nothing but dead silence on the phone. She screamed again, "Did you hear me?" Finally she heard her husband’s very, very quiet voice. In a barely audible whisper, he said, "Who is this?"
