I don't often cut and paste "funny" emails but I liked this one;

FOLLOW THESE 14 SIMPLE TESTS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO HAVE

CHILDREN

Test 1

Women to prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and

stick a beanbag down the front. Leave it there for 9 months.

After 9 months remove 5% of the beans.

Men to prepare for paternity, go to a local chemist, tip

the contents of your wallet onto the counter and tell the

pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket.

Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head

office. Go home. Pick up the newspaper and read it for the

last time.

Test 2

Find a couple who are already parents and berate them about

their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly

low tolerance levels and how they have allowed their

children to run wild. Suggest ways in which they might

improve their child's sleeping habits,toilet training, table

manners and overall behavior. Enjoy it. It will be the last

time in your life that you will ha ve all the answers.

Test 3

To discover how the nights will feel

1. Walk around the living room from 5pm to 10pm carrying a

wet bag weighing approximately 4 - 6kg, with a radio turned

to static (or some other obnoxious sound) playing loudly.

go to sleep.

3. Get up at 12pm and walk the bag around the living room

until 1am.

compartment.

excellent. If you intend to have more than one child, take

more than one goat. Buy your weeks groceries without letting
