After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was enough
(they could not afford a larger doublewide). So, the husband went to his
doctor (who also treated mules) and told him that he and his wife/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. The doctor instructed him 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 Alabaman said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man, but I
don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going
to help me."
So, the couple drove to Georgia to get a second opinion. The Georgia
physician was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy
when he noticed that they were from Alabama. This doctor instead told
the man to go home and get a cherry bomb, light it, place it in a beer can,
hold it to his ear and count to 10.
Figuring that both learned physicians couldn't be wrong, 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. |
