After their 11th child, an Alabama couple decided
that 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 to have any more children.

The doctor told him that there was a procedure
called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it
was expensive.

"A less costly alternative," said the doctor, "is to go home,
get a cherry bomb." (Fireworks are legal in Alabama)
"Light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your
ear and count to 10."

The Alabamian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest
tool in the shed, 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," said the doctor.

So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb 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.

This procedure also works in Kentucky, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Mississippi, and West Virginia.

I believe it works in New Mexico also, that is if they can count past 5
