The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a
surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer
happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning,
Ma'am," he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been
expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat."
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his
baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their
mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look."
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes," the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots.
Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your,
uh... equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes... Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."
Mrs. Smith fainted!!

Wow, that one...were I not so tired at this hour...would make me wake the neighborhood:P Amazingly funny. Not what I expected at all...but this sort of story gets around so often. Why is that?:P Where does this "filth" come from?:P
Brainstormer...I thought it was hilarious because for some reason, embarrassing "ironic" mistakes always seem to happen to me, so it was hilarious to even imagine what another person would have thought in a situation of that nature. I giggled until i had tears rolling down my face. I have NO IDEA where this filth comes from, but I'm sure glad it's out there!
Have a great one!
God Bless Guy!
Hi Hollis,
I'm delighted that this could make you laugh this morning. My job has been a success then! :) Happy Thoughts!!! That's what we all need to start our day! It's sets a great tone for a great day, don't you think?
God Bless Darling!
TJ...you are sooo right. That is probably why I thought it was so darn funny. And turst me, I always fall into situations like this. Not "baby making" situations, but situations I get information all mixed up, and I am sooooo embarrassed later once I realized that I made a big "Ooops". I sometimes think God gave me such a light heart because I make so many "ooopsies" as I go though life, that if I took all of them so seriously, I would want to live in the dark. But I like the sunshine way to much, so I learn to forget my goof-ups and move past them. As long as they don't hurt anyone. Right?
Have a beautiful Day to you!
