After their 11th child, an Alabama 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, (fireworks are legal in Alabama) light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to your ear and count to 10". The Alabamian 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 Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Missouri, West Virginia and Washington DC

Was I supposed to drink the beer first?

So folks in Alabama could have someplace to mock.

Hahaha, that's a good one.

but thanx muchness for furthering my education.

Any info re the song's writer and/or performer? Just curious.

Thanx muchness a secod time.

PS. I think God made Oklahoma so Kansans and Nebraskans could have someplace interesting to visit.

If the couple were to divorce, would they still be brother and sister?  MA

YOU'RE THE REASON GOD MADE OKLAHOMA
lyrics by David Frizzell,
sung by Frizzell and Shelly West


There's a full moon over Tulsa and I hope that it's shining on you,
Nights are gettin' colder here in Cherokee County there's a blue norther passin' through,
I remember green eyes and a rancher's daughter but remember is all that I do,
Losin' you left a purty good cowboy with nothin' to hold on to.

Sundown came and I drove to town to drink a drink or two,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
And I'm sure missin' you...
And I'm sure missin' you.

Out here the city lights outshine the moon I was just now thinkin' of you,
Sometimes when the wind blows you can see the mountains and all the way to Malibu,
Everyone's a star here in L.A. county you ought to see the things that they do,
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip wishin' they could be like you.

Santa Monica Freeway sometimes makes a country girl blue,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
And I'm sure missin' you

I worked ten hours on a John Deere tractor, just thinkin' of you all day,
Got a calico cat and a two-room flat on a street in West L.A.,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
You're the reason God made Oklahoma,
And I'm sure missin' you...
And I'm sure missin' you.

Mother and son, more likely.
