After having their 11th child, Joe and Ms. Terry decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed.

So Joe went to his doctor/veterinarian & told him that he & 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 but that it was expensive.

A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, get a firecracker,light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and
count to10.

Joe said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man in the world,but I don't see how putting a firecracker 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 firecracker and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear & began to count: ----1 ----2 ----3 ---4 ----5 --- at
which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs & resumed counting on his other hand.
