Subject: Hillbilly Birth

Deep in the backwoods of Letcher County Kentucky a
hillbilly's wife went into labor in the middle of the night,
and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery.
Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed the
father-to-be a lantern and said, "Here. You hold this high
so I can see what I'm doing!"

Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there",
said the doctor, "Don't be in such a rush to put down that
lantern down I think there's another one coming."

Sure enough, within a few minutes he had delivered a baby
girl. "Hold that lantern up, don't set it down. There's
another one!" Said the doctor.

Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby. "No,
don't be in a hurry to put down that lantern, it seems
there's yet another one coming!" cried the doctor.

The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked
the doctor, "You reckon it might be the light that's
attractin' 'em?"
