After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was enough (they couldn't afford a larger double wide). So the husband went to his doctor, who did a great job with his mule, and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children.
The doctor told him that there was this procedure, commonly done in the rural south, called a vasectomy that would fix the problem. The doctor instructed the man to go home, get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in an empty beer can, then hold the can to his ear and count to ten.
The Alabama man said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest
man around, 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 doctor was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy when he noticed that the couple was from Alabama. Instead the doctor told the man to get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in a empty beer can hold it next to his ear and count to ten.
The Alabama couple headed home figuring that two physicians
couldn't be wrong. He got a cherry bomb, lit it, placed it in a beer can, held it 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...
