  Alabama Vasectomy....
 
	After having their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided that was
enough (they could not afford a larger doublewide). So, the husband went
to his doctor (who also treated mules) and told him that he and his
wife/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.
 
	The doctor instructed him to go home, get a cherry bomb (fireworks
are legal in 'Bama), 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, 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 physician was just about to tell them about the
procedure for a vasectomy when he noticed that they were from Alabama. 
This doctor instead told the man to go home and get a cherry bomb, light
it, place it in a beer can, hold it to his ear and count to 10.
 
	Figuring that both learned physicians couldn't be wrong, the man
went home, lit a cherrybomb 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....
