After six years of trying to start a family, a couple was finally
blessed with the birth of its first child. The wife told her husband
to put an announcement in the local paper. When he returned from the
newspaper office, she asked him what details he had included. "Just
the name, address and date," he said. "How much did it cost?" "About
six hundred and eighty dollars," he replied. "Why so much?" the
stunned woman exclaimed. "Well, after I wrote out the announcement,
the clerk asked me how many insertions, and I said four times a week
for six years."
