After having their 11th child, an Luther and Earline, an Alabama couple, decided that was enough. So, Luther went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children.

The doctor told Luther that there was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem. The doctor then instructed Luther to go home, get a cherry bomb, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.

Luther said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man in the world, but I don't see how putting a cherry bomb in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me."

So, Luther and Earline decided to drive to Georgia to get a second opinion.

The Georgia physician was just about to tell them about the procedure for a vasectomy when he realized that they were from Alabama. This doctor instead told Luther to go home and get a cherry bomb, light it, place it in a beer can, hold it to his ear and count to 10.

Figuring that both learned physicians couldn't be wrong, Luther went home, lit a cherrybomb 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.
