West Virginia

[Karl/Pa.]

A census taker in rural West Virginia went up to a farmhouse and knocked. A woman came to the door, and he proceeded to ask her how many children she had, and their ages. She said, "Well, les' see now, there's the twins Sally and Billy, they're thirty-two, the twins Seth and Beth, they're twenty-six, and the twins Penny and Jenny, they're twenty-four ... "

"Hold on!" said the census taker, "Did you get twins EVERY time?" The woman answered, " Why hell no, there were hundreds of times we didn't get nothin!"
