Four men met at the hospital where their wives were giving birth.
The nurse approaches the first man and said, “Congratulations, you have twins!”
The man said “How strange, I’m the manager of the Minnesota Twins.”
After awhile the nurse came back out, went up to the second man and said, “Congratulations, you’re the father of triplets.”
The man mused, “Hmmm, strange… I worked as a director for the “3 musketeers.”
Much later, the nurse again came out, walked up to the third man and said, “Congratulations, it’s amazing. Your wife just gave birth to twins x2. You’ll be going home with quadruplets!”
The man is over-the-moon happy and replies, “How ironic, I work for the hotel “4 Seasons.”
All three of them are taken up with the excitement of their news, until they see the last fellow jumping all over the place, cursing God and banging his head on the wall. They asked him what’s wrong and he moans, “What’s wrong… what’s wrong? I work for 7up!”
In a BBC News Report, Fracas has learned this:
A US woman has given birth to eight babies, becoming just the second person recorded to have delivered a set of living octuplets.
The six boys and two girls were delivered by caesarean section in Los Angeles, California.
The babies, who weighed in at between 1.8lbs (820g) and 3.4lbs each, are all said to be doing well.
They were screaming and kicking around very vigorously, according to a doctor at the hospital in suburban Bellflower.
The mother, whose identity has not been revealed, has asked that limited information be released about the births.
And so what we won’t know for sure just yet… or ever… is if the father of these remarkable newborns was employed on the crew for the TLC Network show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” or even perhaps at some point in the past, the show Eight is Enough? I suppose he could’ve worked on the set of “Eight Below” or maybe he was even employed by Group Eight Engineering Limited.
For now, we’ll have to continue to speculate.
At any rate, wherever he worked to have fathered those eight little bundles of that baby-smelling newness, fracas sends her best wishes for no complications and good health for these little miracles… they’re going to need all the help they can get! Starting life at 1.8 lbs isn’t impossible, but it sure makes the road ahead a bit more difficult.
