• Birth Control in the South

    Hello Everybody,

    Well, you know how it is. Rich folks can afford to get abortions,
    or buy any amount of morning after pills they want. But what about
    everybody else? Expecially those in the land of Dixie, where women
    are kept barefoot and pregnant as a tradition?

    As the one who cannot be named explained it -

    AFTER THEIR 11TH CHILD, A TEXAS 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, LIGHT IT, PUT IT IN A BEER CAN, THEN HOLD THE CAN UP
    TO YOUR EAR AND COUNT TO 10."

    THE TEXAS HILLBILLY 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, TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, GEORGIA, OKLAHOMA, AND WEST VIRGINIA.

    For Life,
    Lee
