Or at least that's the explanation that gets the woman off the hook. I'd believe it if they brought in the customer and he tested positive for paternity.
I find all of this amusing -- only in the US (it seems to me) is the possibility of a significant adultery rate considered unspeakable. As an alternative, a semi-humorous book on the English class system had a chapter titled "Marriage" and within it a section titled "Adultery", as if it was the most natural thing.
