After having their 11th child, a Liverpool couple decided that was
enough, as the social wouldn't buy them a bigger bed and they weren't strong enough to nick one. 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 there was a procedure called a vasectomy that
would fix the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative
was to go home, get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then
hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.
The Scouser said, 'I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I
don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going
to help me.'
Trust me, it will do the job', said the doctor.
So off home he goes, lit a banger and put it in a beer can. He holds
it up to his ear and begins to count: '1, 2, 3, 4, 5,' at which point
he paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue
counting on his other hand.
This procedure also works in Newcastle, Bolton, Sunderland, parts of
Stoke on Trent, Spain and anywhere in Ireland.
