View Full Version : Pretty bad....
Deep in the back woods of Arkansas, 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?"

The way I heard it, an Iowa farmer was out plowing his field while the doctor attended his wife in the house. As he came out to the end , the wife's sister,who was helping out was waiting for him. "you have a fine new son," she told him. "that's fine, giddup!" said the farmer. Next time he came around, she was waiting again; "You also have a fine new daughter." "That's fine, giddup"said the farmer. When he again came around, she was waiting to tell him of a second daughter. At that he tied the mules to the fence post and started for the house, with the comment: "I'd better go in and put a stop to it."

That's just about correct except the farmer was an Iowa State graduate so it was a veterinarian and not a doctor :cool: :confused:

First motorcycle ride across Arkansas via back roads scared me enough I'm not making fun of anyone from Arkansas....those gentlemen standing on their front porches with their coon dogs giving me the evil eye convinced me that if I had a flat, I'd keep moving and hope to find a city slicker establishment down the road a piece.

DOK, If that Hillbilly was in the back woods, he wouldn't have had a lantern, they still use home made candles. :D :D

No matter, Lee, as I can guarantee you I wouldn't be there after dark. But not unique to Arkansas, felt the same way when I was in Times Square after dark before they cleaned it up.
