A couple was trying to have a child and was having great difficulty. Ages go by with no baby, but they keep trying. Finally, the wife gets pregnant and gives birth to a 8 lb. 9 oz. baby boy.
At the hospital, the wife tells the husband he needs to go to the local newspaper and put a notification in for publication.
The next morning, he comes to see his wife and baby in the hospital, and the wife asks him if he went to the newspaper.
“I took care of it before I came here,” he says.
“How much did it cost?” the wife asks?
“$4567.83,” replies the husband.
“That’s ridiculous! How can that be right?” replies the wife.
“Well, when I went to the paper, they gave me a form which I filled out. Our name, the baby’s name and weight, when we’d be able to see people at home….Then I handed it to the clerk who counted the words and asked me, 'How many insertions?’"
“I told her twice a week for 8 years. Ok?"
