After having their 11th child, a North Georgia Mountain couple decided 11 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, was to go home, get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in an empty beer can, then hold the can 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, " 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 continued counting on his other hand.
_
_
This procedure also works in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Minnesota, Arkansas, West Virginia, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma.
