Indeed ... for that prayer he wrote for bereaved parents at the very least. Would be tempted to say they don't make 'em like that any more, but if the kids are into Jon Stewart, maybe there's hope for y'all yet? <g?>

OT- AFTER THEIR 11TH CHILD, AN ALABAMA COUPLE DECIDED THAT WAS ENOUGH AS THEY COULD NOT AFFORD A LARGER BED. SO THE HUSBAND WENT TO HIS VETERINARIAN AND TOLD HIM THAT HE AND HIS 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, "IS 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 YOUR EAR AND COUNT TO 10." THE ALABAMIAN SAID TO THE DOCTOR, "I MAY NOT BE THE SMARTEST TOOL IN THE SHED, 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 HISS LEGS, AND RESUMED COUNTING ON HIS OTHER HAND
