Deep in the back woods, of Letcher County
Kentucky a hillbilly's wife went into labor in the middle of the
night, and the doctor was called out to assist in the delivery. Since
there was no electricity, the doctor handed the father-to-be a lantern
and said, "Here. You hold this high so I can see what I am doing!."
Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world. "Whoa there," said the
doctor, "don't be in such a rush to put that lantern down; I think
there's another one coming."
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl. "Hold that
lantern up, don't set it down; there's another one!" Said the doctor.
Within a few minutes he had delivered a third baby. "No, don't be in a
hurry to put down that lantern, it seems there's yet another one
coming!" cried the doctor.
The redneck scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked the doctor,
...
"You reckon it might be the light that's attractin'
'em?"
