FATHER TO BE

Three new fathers-to-be were nervously pacing the waiting room floor when the nurse came in and said to one, Òcongratulations, youÕre the father of twins.Ó ÒTerrific,Ó said the new father, Òwhat a coincidence, IÕm a player for the Minnesota Twins baseball team.Ó

A little later the nurse came in again and announced to the second father, ÒCongratulations, youÕre the father of triplets.Ó ÒWhat a coincidence,Ó shouted the new father, ÒI work for the 3-M Company.Ó

At this moment of jubilation, the third father-to-be promptly fainted. When the nurse finally revived the poor fellow, she asked. ÒWhatÕs the matter?Ó The soon to be fatherÕs reply was, ÒQuick get me out of here, I work for 7- up.Ó
