The computer sent letters to a half-dozen older gents who were waiting to hear about their impending operations. The mistaken missives informed the men they were going to be mothers! They weren't preggers, just peeved. Actually, in fairness to the computer, the person running it had hit the wrong button. You can bet she'll be more careful next time, otherwise a bunch of women may learn it's time to come in for their prostate exams.
