Tenth Child

"Tenth Child"*

*A Kentucky couple, both bona fide rednecks, had
9 children. They went to the doctor to see about
getting the husband "fixed."

The doctor gladly started the required procedure
and asked them what finally made them make the
decision--why after nine children, would they
choose to do this now.
 
The husband replied that they had heard recently
on Fox that one out of every ten children being
born in the United States was Mexican, and they
didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican
baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.

"The Test"*

*An older couple had a son, who was still living at
home. The parents were a little worried, as the
son was still unable to decide about his future
career. They decided to do a small test. They
took a ten-dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of
whiskey, and put them on the front hall table,
and hid, pretending they were not home.

The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money,
he will be a businessman, if he takes the bible, he
will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey,
I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."

So, the parents waited nervously, hiding in the
nearby closet. Peeping through the keyhole they
saw their son arrive. The son saw the note they
had left. Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at
it against the light, and slid it in his pocket. After
that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took
it. Then, he grabbed the bottle, opened it and took
a whiff, to get assured of the quality.

Then he left for his room, carrying all three items.

The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn!
Our son is going to be a Senator someday!"
