An old county doctor went way out to the boondocks to deliver
a baby.

It was so far out that there was no electricity.

When
the doctor arrived, no one was home except for the laboring
mother and her 5 year old child.

The doctor instructed the child to hold a lantern high so he
could see while he helped the woman deliver the baby.

The
child did so, the mother pushed, and after a little while, the
doctor lifted the new born baby by the feet and spanked him
on the bottom to get him to take his first breath.

"Hit him again," the child said. "He shouldn't have crawled up
there in the first place!!"
