After their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that eleven was more

than

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 the procedure 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,

and 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

then

held the can up to his ear and began to count. . . . . .

"1"

"2"

"3"

"4"

"5"

(you're gonna love this...) . . . . . . . . .

At which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs and . .

.

continued counting on his other hand.

(Note: This procedure also works in Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana,

Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Missouri, Florida, West

Virginia

and vast parts of Virginia and North Carolina).
