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 to the doctor, '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 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 .

I can see how it would work in Liverpool, Middlesborough and Bradford, but am at a loss to understand why you include Wales, where most people are intelligent enough to be fluent in at least two languages, whereas most of the the English have trouble speaking their own language coherantly.

I've known 6 or 7 Welshmen quite well. Only 2 of them claimed to speak Welsh. They came from neighbouring villages on Anglesey, your neck of the woods. Both claimed Welsh as their first language. Both would occasionally try to speak to the other in Welsh but after failing no more than a couple of sentences in, would revert back to English. One of these two failed the first year of his HND twice. His nickname was Coch, which he claims means something different in Wales. Definitely a beer can castration candidate, though.

Guess I'll have to concede that one.
