In-Can-Descent

After having their 11th child, a Liverpool couple decided that was enough, as they could not afford a larger bed.

So the husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife 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. However as 5th November was approaching, he should buy the biggest exploding firework he could find, light it, put it in a beer can, hold the can up to his ear and count to ten.

The Scouser said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man in the world, but I don't see how puttin' a banger in a beer can next to me ear is gonna help me."

"Trust me," said the doctor.

The man went out bought the biggest exploding firework he could find and took it home. As the doctor had instructed, he lit the blue touch paper and put it in a beer can. He then held it up to his ear and began to count:

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

...at which point he paused, and so he could continue counting on his other hand, placed the beer can between his legs.
