Irish
Vasectomy...
After having their 11th child, an Irish couple decided enough
was enough, as they couldn't afford a larger bed.
So the husband went to his
doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more
children.
The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy
but it was expensive.
He explained a less costly alternative was to go home,
get a large fire-cracker, light it, put it in a beer can,
then hold the can
up to his ear and count to 10.
The husband said to the doctor, 'B'Jayzus,
I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a
firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me with my
problem.'
'Trust me, it will do the job', said the doctor.
So the man
went home, lit a cracker 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, and placed the
beer can between his legs so he could continue counting on his other
hand.
This procedure also works in
New
Zealand and several suburbs in Brisbane .
