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, as to go home, get a cherry bomb  (fireworks are legal in the North Georgia Mountains), 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 resumed counting on his other hand.

This procedure also works in Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, parts of Missouri, and Oildale, CA.
