Joke thread

A man was pacing the waiting room in the maternity ward when a doctor approached him. The man could tell from the doctor's demeanour something was not right.

'I've just come form the delivery room,' the doctor said 'and I'm happy to tell you your wife and son are doing fine.'

'Thank goodness,' cried the man with relief. 'Can I see them?'

'Your wife is recovering, but I can take you to see your child.' Replied the doctor. 'But I should prepare you. There were some.... complications.'

The man's blood froze.

'Your son is resting,' continued the doctor 'but physically, he is incomplete.'

The man was gripped by paternal love and responded with passion. 'He's my child, I'll hold him and he'll hug me, and know he's loved."

'Um, yes. It's just that...he was born without arms.'

The man was taken aback a moment, but his resolve only strengthened. 'It doesn't matter. We'll go through life together, running and exploring side by side...'

'Actually,' interrupted the doctor, 'he was born without legs,'

For a moment the man lost his composure.

'Perhaps it's best if I take you in to show you.' continued the doctor.

The doctor escorted the man into a sectioned off room. The doctor gently pulled aside a partition curtain, and there the man saw a pillow, and nestled in the middle a little pink ear, wriggling.

The man was taken aback, speechless. But from somewhere within, he drew on the love only a father can feel, and cried out 'My son!'

'It's no use,' said the doctor, laying a hand on his shoulder. 'He's deaf.'
