What a Crock!

Back in frontier days, not a lot was known about birth control. This one doctor, though, had what he considered a fairly foolproof method. He would tell the women to put their feet in a 10-gallon crock and leave them there while they slept.

To his surprise, though, one woman with 10 children became pregnant. He asked her if she hadn't followed his instructions.

"Well, sort of," she replied. "We didn't have no 10-gallon crock, so I used 2 five-gallon ones."
