In the back woods of Arkansas...

In the back woods of Arkansas, Scotty's wife went into
labour in the middle of the night, and the doctor was
called out to assist in the delivery.

To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed
him a lantern and said: 'Here, you hold this high so I can
see what I'm doing.'

Soon, a wee baby boy was brought into the world.

'Whoa there Scotty!' said the doctor. 'Don't be in a rush
to put the lantern down...I think there's yet another wee
one to come.'

Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a bonnie lass.

'No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that
lantern, lad...It seems there's yet another one besides!'
cried the doctor.

Scotty scratched his head in bewilderment, and asked
the doctor: 'Do ye think it's the light that's attracting them?'
