After having their 10th child, a market maker and his wife decided that was enough. So the
husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife 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.
The doctor told the man that he was to go home, get a cherry bomb, put it in a can, then
hold the can up to his ear and count to 10. The market maker said to the doctor "I may not
be the smartest man, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a can next to my ear is
going to help me."
So the couple drove to New Jersey to get a second opinion. The doctor
was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy when he noticed from his
business card that the husband was a market maker. This doctor also told the man to go
home and get a cherry bomb, place it in a tin can, hold it next to his ear and count to 10.
Figuring that both doctors couldn't be wrong, the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and
put it in a 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 can between his legs and resumed counting on his other hand. |
