Overheard a bagger describing a "miracle" to his friends today. Actually 4 "miracles"

He was telling his friend his wife and he tried to have kids for over ten years with no luck. Said his wife wanted kids really bad too.

One day he came home from work and sitting on the kitchen table was an application to adopt a child. He told his friends there was no way he was going to raise an adopted black child.

He said he gathered up that application and ripped it up in front of his wife and then balled it up and threw it in the garbage can.

He said about a month later came the beginning of the first miracle. His wife became pregnant and she then had a child. He said about a year later she had another child. This went on 4 years straight until she had 4 children. Finally she had her tubes tied because they couldn't afford any more children.

Bagger told his friends he knew this was a miracle because they had been to doctors and they couldn't help them in over 10 years. He even mentioned this had to be Gods will.

I thought to myself while sitting there listening that God sure works in mysterious ways.

Just saying. Woman very desperate for baby but not getting pregnant with husband, decides to adopt but husband rejects in as mean and inhuman a way as he can think of, wife could find someone else to get her pregnant.

A couple has been married for 6 years and have 5 kids. Each time the make love, the husband insists that the lights be off and he is completely covered by the blanket.

The wife finds this odd; but she gets it wherever she wants and her husband can go for as long as it takes her to arrive.

One night in the middle of their lovemaking the blanket falls off and somehow, the lights come on, and she sees her station of a long lasting lover with a life-like sex toy strapped between his legs.

The wife is horrified, and asks ... "How long have you been faking it?"

To which the husband responds ... "First you explain the five kids!"

Where the guy finds out from a friend that the guys wife has been having sex with the milkman. "What's she doing with a guy like that?" the guy asks. "When we owe the butcher $20!"
