< < Redneck Vasectomy

< < < <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.
