Birth Control

Ouch...



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 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, 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  Kentucky, Mississippi, and West Virginia.
