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'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."
"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.
This procedure also works in Australia, Texas and Quebec.
