THE ELEVENTH CHILD
Posted by MEHBOOB on January 18, 192002 at 10:30:47

After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided
that was enough as they could not afford a larger bed. So the
husband went to his doctor/veterinarian and told him that he
and his wife/first cousin didn't want to have any more children.

The doctor told him that there was a procedure called a
vasectomy that could fix the problem, but that it was expensive.
A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, get
a cherry bomb (fireworks are legal in Alabama), light it, put it
in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear, and count to 10.

The Alabamian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest
man in the world, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in
a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

"Trust me," said the doctor.

So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb, and put it in a beer
can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count: "1,2,3,
4,5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between
his legs, and resumed counting on his other hand....


* This procedure also works in Tennessee, Arkansas,
Virginia, Mississippi, and West Virginia.

** Florida was added to the list last November
