M'lissa-Sue was in the doctor's office again. It seems she was pregnant at 21 with her 6th baby. When Old Doc told her the news she burst into tears and said, "Doc, ya gotta do somethin'! Ah cain't take no more young'uns! We're keepin' the youngest 2 in dresser drawers as it is cuz there ain't no more room in the shack. Mah man don't take to no high-falutin' birth control or nothin' like that. Can ya help me? All these young'uns is killin' me!" The wise Old Doc, much revered by the hill folk for his almost magical powers of medicine said, "Don't you worry now, M'lissa-Sue. I have a method I guarantee to work and you will not have to worry about getting pregnant any more." M'lissa-Sue brightened up considerably and asked the doctor what to do. He said, "M'lissa-Sue you just go right on down to the store and buy that man of yours a case of beer and a couple of cherry bombs. Tell him you dare him to drink 2 beers, set one on a stump, light a cherry bomb, put it in a can, count to 10, and throw it and knock the other can off the stump. I promise it will work. I stake my reputation on it." So, she went and got the beer and cherry bombs and took them home. She said, "Darlin', I dare ya ta drank a whole beer, fire up this cherry bomb, put it in the can, count to 10 and hit that other can with it before the bomb goes off!" The man, furious that she would question his skills at drinking, blowing stuff up, and worst of all his aim said, "Woman, gimme them beers and cherry bombs!" He drank 2 beers in 2 gulps. He set one can on a stump about 20 feet away. He lit a cherry bomb and dropped it into the can. He counted on one hand, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5" he paused and put the can between his knees to count on the other hand "6, 7....."
