Are Maude and Jeffrey related?

Nope. I always assumed she boned him to try and make a baby because their last names would match on the birth certificate.

But it would also be the same name as her father. Which is cool...

Keeping us guessing is also a subtle hat-tip to “Chinatown.”

No, man, she insisted he see the doctor (he's a good man, and thurrah) and he was asked to "lower his shorts" - afterward he was driving home, doin a j, drinking an oat soda, happy as a clam, suggesting the doctor collected a, um, genetic sample, presumably to have tested, to ensure, ya know, that they weren't, uh, relations. Hadn't that occurred to you, man? Sir?

The most straightforward way to evaluate for possible consanguinity would be a chromosome single-nucleotide polymorphism micorarray. This would be done with a blood draw, not a semen sample. However it's possible that a blood draw was done "off screen," also.

What're you a fucking geneticist now? jk what you say may not have been considered by the writers. The whole comical "lower your shorts" thing strongly suggests something other than a simple blood draw.

Not a geneticist, but I am a doctor. I'm aware of the dropped shorts request, but that would be for a examination of the external genitalia. If a semen sample is needed from a male patient, he "generates" it himself. (Doctors don't give handjobs, except in movies like Logjammin.)

I always assumed the doctor gave him a very thorough prostate exam that the dude really enjoyed. Possible to test for genetics from a stool sample?

Was this available in 1991?

My thinking has become very uptight. Didn’t even occur to me. So, now that you mention it, no, the first commercially available SNP array was marketed in the early 2000s

That’s my friend Sherry. She just came over to get showered in semen, collect it all in a cup and bring it to the lab.

Actually, I'm happy to say that I haven't been anywhere near a patient's genitals since I was a trainee, since my specialty certification is in psychiatry

I also figured he had a prostate exam. This had not occurred to us, dude

"oat soda" I always thought the Dude asked for a couple of road sodas.

All that being said, I’m still believing that the Dude and TBL, and by extension Maude, are blood relatives at some level. Distant cousins, perhaps distant enough to avoid any unpleasant issues with offspring. But, that’s like, just my opinion, man.

Yes. Everyone of Polish heritage is related. Don’t bother fact checking this, it’s true.

I think it's weird that she could have had sex with anyone, yet chose the guy with her father's name. She didn't choose Knox Harrington, or any of the goons that helped her steal back her rug. She chose a daddy surrogate.

She wanted the father to be someone she wouldn't see socially, someone the square community wouldn't give a shit about.

Good question. I question her motive for sleeping with Jeffrey Lebowski while her father is also Jeffrey Lebowski from the Freudian angle. I also think Bunny and Brandt were running a scam on the big Lebowski together. Brother and sister maybe.
