Guys do that for the same reason people slow down when they see a highway patrol car … guilty conscience.
Sally – “Hey everyone, did ya hear? Margret’s preg... ”
Bob – “Uh… it couldn’t have been by me, I was with Susan … or was it Thelma... no wait, I think it was Angelica … Mary?”
Tom - “Oh, crap, my vasectomy didn’t work! Wait… who’s Margret?”
Steve – “oh, no, not another one! I knew I shouldn’t have used generic rubbers! Dad always said, never wear a cheap love glove!”
Bill – “Please don’t let it be mine! Please don’t let it be mine! Please don’t let it be mine! …”.
Sally - “…nant. She and her husband are expecting in April.”
Bob, Tom, Steve – (collectively) “whew! Dodged that bullet!”
Bill – “Please don’t let it be mine! Please don’t let it be mine! Please don’t let it be mine! …”.
Wait, Bill is Margret’s husband! What’s his deal?
