Arkansas couple has 17th child

Rmeinds me of an old story. Some of you "old-timers" (read: aged) will remember Groucho Marx' game show, "You Bet your Life." Groucho would always interview the contestents prior to starting the game. Evidently, one time he had a gentleman contestent on his show where it went something like this:

Groucho: "Tell us something about yourself."

Young Man: "Well, Groucho, I'm married...I have a beautiful wife and 9 lovely children."

Groucho: "Really? You don't look that old...how old are you?"

Young man: "I'm 28 years old, Groucho."

Groucho: "No kidding! How long have you been married?"

Young Man: "I've been married for 8 wonderful years."

Groucho: [Now mugging/winking at the audience as only Groucho could] "Let me get this straight...you're 28 years old, you've been married 8 years, and you already have 9 children?"

Young Man: [Clearly becoming embarassed and beginning to stutter] "But, but, Groucho...I love my wife!"

Groucho: "Well, I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!

LOL

but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!

Almost definitely just an urban legend, but a very funny one.
