(This is a visual joke; material needed: 1 newspaper.) <ethnic> visits doctor's office, tells the doc, "I've got 14 kids and can't support any more; I need a vasectomy." Doctor describes operation, says that it costs $300. "Oh No! I can't afford $300! What am I going to do?" moans <ethnic>. "You can do it yourself; roll 1/4 of a stick of dynamite in a newspaper, hold it beside your head and count to ten." <ethnic> thinks, "That's pretty weird; I'll get a second opinion." He goes to another doctor who tells him exactly the same thing, so decides he'll try it. He gets a stick of dynamite, cuts off exactly 1/4, inserts fuze cap, rolls dynamite in newspaper, lights the fuze, holds it next to his head. (Hold rolled newspaper next to head, count on fingers: 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold newspaper between legs to free other hand: 6..7..8.... ) -- Frank reid@gold.bacs.indiana.edu
