The Farmers Baby

Mike and his pregnant wife live on a farm in the distant rural
regions. No running water, no electricity, etc. One night,
Mikes' wife begins to deliver the baby. The local doctor is
there in attendance.

"What d'ya want me to do, Doctor?"
"Hold the lantern, Mikey.
Here it comes!" the doctor delivers the child and holds it
up for the proud father to see. "Mike, you're the proud father
of a fine strapping boy."

"Saints be praised, I..."
Before Mike can finish the Doctor
interrupts,
"Wait a minute. Hold the lantern, Mikey." Soon
the doctor delivers the next child.
"You've a full set now, Mikey.
A beautiful baby daughter."
"Thanks be to..." Again the Doctor cuts in,
"Hold the
lantern, Mikey, Hold the lantern!"
Soon the Doctor delivers
a third child. The doctor holds up the baby for Mike's
inspection. "Doctor," asks Mike, "Do you think it's the light
that's attracting them?"
