  After having their 11th child, a Tasmanian couple decided that was
  enough, as they could not afford a larger bed. So the husband went to
  his doctor/veterinarian and told him that he and his wife/cousin
  didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him that there
  was a procedure called a vasectomy that could fix the problem but that it
  was expensive.
  A less costly alternative, said the doctor, was to go home, get a
  firecracker, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to
  his ear and count to 10.

  The Tasmanian said to the doctor, "I may not be the smartest man
  in the world, but I don't see how putting a firecracker in a beer can
  next to my ear is going to help me."
  Trust me," said the doctor.
  So the man went home, lit a firecracker and put it in a beer can.
  He held the can up to his ear and began to count:
  "1"
  "2"
  "3"
  "4"
  "5"
   at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs,
  and resumed counting on his other hand.
  This procedure also works in most other parts of Australia
