~Seniors Having Babies ~ (2nd time around)
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day)

Just in case any of you were contemplating having another baby.

With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby.

When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit.

"May we see the new baby?" one asked.

"Not yet," said the mother. I'll make coffee and we can visit for awhile first."

Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," said the mother.

After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, "May we see the > baby now?"

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well, when can we see the baby?"

"WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them.

"WHEN HE CRIES?" they demanded to know why.

"Why do we have to wait until he CRIES?"

"BECAUSE, I forgot where I put him." ***

Word of the Day for Saturday June 10, 2006

gainsay \gayn-SAY; GAYN-say\, transitive verb:1. To deny or dispute; to declare false or invalid.2. To oppose; to contradict.

In our present, imperfectly postmodern world, where most information still takes the potentially embarrassing form of printed matter lurking in archives, liars still must position themselves so that the historical record may not easily gainsay them.-- Thomas M. Disch, The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of

But, owing to government's cynical policy of inaction, suppression and hoping the problem would go away, there was nothing to gainsay it either.-- Mary Riddell, "I don't mind about midsummer madness, but I'd rather not have it in my fridge or purring on the sofa", New Statesman, July 26, 1996
