*Hillbilly Vasectomy*

After having their 11th child, a Tennessee 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 vet, was to go home, get a cherry bomb, (fireworks 
are legal in the Tennessee hills), light it, put it in an empty beer 
can, then hold the can up to your 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 veterinarian. 

So the man went home, lit a cherry bomb and put it in a beer can.  The 
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 Mississippi, and West Virginia
