The Smiths 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 goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning, Ma'am" he said, "I've come to...''
"Oh, no need to explain" Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, " I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer, "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my speciality?"
"Well, 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. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there." said the photographer.
'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!' thought Mrs. Smith.
"Well, Ma'am, 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." he said.
My, that's a lot! gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that." he said assuringly.
'Don't I know it.' said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus" he said.
Oh my God! Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with." he continued.
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five feet to get a good look." he sighed.
"Four and five feet?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes" the photographer replied, "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward, "Do you mean they actually chewed on your,.. um.. equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes." he said nodding, "Well, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?" Mrs. Smith said confused.
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand for very long." he replied.
With that, Mrs. Smith fainted........... .

sdl, why wrong? we have to be fair to the company too. if an employee keeps falling ill, the productivity level drops so in a way have to compensate to company too mah so i feel that taking leave is the right way to do. like one of my colleague just join for a while but kenna accident which is serious and have been on hospitalisation leave for the past 4 mths. by right, the standard rule (stated by MOM) is 46 days of hospital leave but obviously he had used it all up and my company already very kind to extend it to him and paying him still. But it has to reach a limit too and they will be cutting if out soon. If not, everyone will take advantage of the company.
