After having their 11th child, a Georgia Mountain couple decided that enough 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 no more children, and what could he do for him. The Doctor told him about a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem, but it was very expensive. A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, put a cherry bomb firecracker in an empty beer can, lite it, hold it up to his ear, and count to 10.

The redneck 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, " replied the doctor.

So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb, put it in a beer can, held it to his ear, and began to count off.....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, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, and most parts of Texas.
