The secret of the black sheep

Dear Auntie Greg,
I have two brothers, one works at Microsoft, the other was sentenced to death in the gas chamber. My mother died of insanity when I was three years old, my two sisters are prostitutes and my father sells drugs.

Recently, I met a girl who was released from a reformatory where she served time for smothering her illegitimate child to death. I love this girl very much and want to marry her.

My problem is this:

Shall I tell her about my brother who works at Microsoft?

Sincerely, Jack.

Jack

However much she loves you, there are certain things that she shall never accept. If you tell her, you'll lose her. If you lie to her (which she will expect after the description of your other brother, sisters, and parents) she will respect you for trying to maintain some nature of dignity.

Much love,
