Is the light attracting babies
[ 2006-10-25 08:00 ]
Mike and his pregnant wife
live on a farm in a rural area in the west of England. No running water, no
electricity, etc.
One night, Mikes' wife is beginning to deliver the
baby. The local doctor is there in attendance.
"What do you want me to
do, Doctor? "
"Hold the lantern, Mike. 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, Mike."
Soon the doctor delivers the next child. "You've a full set
now, Mike. A beautiful baby daughter."
"Thanks be to..."
Again the
Doctor cuts in, "Hold the lantern, Mike, 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?"
