Contraception

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 physician 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 but that it was expensive. “A less costly
alternative,” said the doctor, “is to go home, get a cherry bomb,
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 his legs and
continued counting on his other hand.
This procedure also works in Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Missouri, Florida, West Virginia and Washington.
