Subject: From Your Friendly Photographer!!! > The Smith's were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate > father to start their family. > On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and > said, "I'm off dear, the man should be here soon." > Half-an-hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby > photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning madam. > I've come to........" > "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you", Mrs. Smith cut in. > "Really"? The photographer asked. "Well, good! I've made a specialty of > babies." > "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat." > After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well. Where do we start?" > "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch > and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun > too; you can really spread out." > "Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me." > "Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try > several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure > you'll be pleased with the results." > "My, that's a lot of..........." gasped Mrs. Smith. > "Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and > out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure." > "Don't I know it", Mrs. Smith said quietly. > The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby > pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London." > "Oh my goodness!!!!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her > handkerchief. > "And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their > mother was so difficult to work with." > "She was difficult?" Asked Mrs. Smith. > "Yes, I'm afraid so, I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job > done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get > a good look." > "Four and five deep?" asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in > amazement. > "Yes", the photographer said. "And for more than three hours, too. The > mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate. > Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the > squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in." > Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "You mean they actually chewed on your, > um....equipment?" > "That's right. Well madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so that > we can get to work." > "Tripod????" > "Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for > me to hold very long. Madam? Madam?......Goodness, > she's fainted!!!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
