After Christmas Humour!

A Joke for Today

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas, and are looking forward to a happy New Year! We're slow roasting a Boston Butt for a pulled pork dinner, so I'll blog about that next, but today, all I have is a joke for you.

Okay, our scene opens in the waiting room of the hospital maternity ward.
It's a very busy night, and there are four men there.
As it turns out, they are all first-time fathers, and are all very nervous.
This happened before they expected fathers to be in the delivery room with the mom!

They are passing the time away by making small talk when the nurse enters the room.
She goes over to one of the men and says, "Congratulations Mr. Smith!
You are the father of TWINS!
Now your wife is recovering, and we'll let you see them all in just a few moments."
Mr. Smith says to the other men, "Wow, isn't that a coincidence?
My wife just had twins, and I am the general manager of the Minnesota Twins!"

The other guys all congratulate him and remark about how fortunate he is.

After a few more minutes, the nurse comes back in and goes over to another of the men and says, "Congratulations Mr. Jones! You are the father of TRIPLETS!
Now your wife is recovering, and we'll let you see them all in just a few moments."

Mr Jones sits down and exclaims, "Wow! Talk about coincidence!
Smith over there is the manager of the Minnesota Twins and his wife has twins.
My wife just had triplets and I am the regional sales manager for the 3M Corporation!"
The other guys all congratulate him and wonder about the odds of such a thing..

Several minutes later, the nurse comes back in and goes over to another of the men and says,
"Congratulations Mr. Baker! You are the father of QUADRUPLETS!
Now your wife is recovering, and we'll let you see them all in just a few moments."
Mr Baker almost faints, but manages to tell the other guys, "Boy, oh, Boy! you guys are not going to believe this!
I mean Mr. Smith manages the Minnesota Twins, and his wife gives birth to twins.
Mr. Jones is a regional sales manager for 3M and his wife gives birth to triplets.
And my wife gives birth to quadruplets, and I am the head chef at the Four Seasons Resort!"

All the others congratulate him and they all are astonished at the seeming coincidence of it all.

When they quiet down a little, they notice Mr. Habib sitting with his head in his hands moaning to himself. Mr. Smith goes over and asks him, "Hey buddy. What's the problem?"
Mr. Habib looks up and moans, "I dont think I should have taken that job at the 7-11!"
