After having their 11th child, an Irish couple decided that was enough, as
they could not 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 that would
fix the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative was to go
home, get a firework, 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'Jees, 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."
>
> "Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor. So the man went home, lit
a banger 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 so he could continue counting on his other hand.
