Why Menopause?
With all the new technology regarding fertility, a 65 year-old woman gave
birth to a baby. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home,
her relatives came to visit.
"May we see the new baby?" one asked. "Not yet," said the 65 year-old
mother, "Soon."
Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new
baby now?" "Not yet," said the mother.
After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, "May we see the
baby now?" "No," replied the mother. Growing impatient, they asked, "Well,
when CAN we see the baby?" "When it cries," she told them.
"When it cries?" they demanded. "Why do we have to wait until it cries?"
"Because, I forgot where I put it."
