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

> 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 to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest guy in the

> ear is going to help me."
>
> "Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor.
>
> So the man went home, lit a banger 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 so he could continue
> counting on his other hand.
>
> This procedure also works in Middlesbrough, parts of Bradford and
> anywhere in Wales.
