you'd be surprised how many first borns are illegitimate. doctors began to notice when doing blood tests to match parents to donate bone marrow, a lot of the fathers weren't even in the same ballpark

 

So I guess the question, "who's your daddy" is a legitimate one?

 

Roflmao Who's your daddy.

 

...or, as the case may be, an illegitimate one!

 

I think this one is old, modern hospitals give the baby, mother and father a wrist braclets with matching numbers on them before it goes out of delivery room when the birth occurs. the baby also gets an anti-theft braclet that causes the doors to the materity section to lock shut until reset.

 

18. Shouldn't read anything titled things you should know.....

 

When my daughter was born, the hospital had just put this system in. It acutally sets off when you are 10 feet from a door, or three running steps.

I was walking my daughter around the halls, cause I couldn't sleep. I got a little too close. All of the sudden an alarm starts going off, the emergency lighting starts flashing. I stepped over to the side of the hall, thinking I was going to be run down by a gurney with a bunch of paramedics and doctors giving someone emergency CPR (ala ER). A security gaurd jumps out of the stairwell I was by, and yells, "Drop that baby". I looked at this idiot, and said 'You moron I'm not dropping my daughter'. He started to get all Security Wacker on me, and nurse came up and said she needed to see my bracelet, and the one on my daughter's ankle. Of course everthing matched. The nurse had me come back to the nurse's station and explained how the system works.

I went back to my wife's room, she asked what that was. I lied, I said it was some type of medical alarm. I got sold out by the nurses the next day.

 

is the dot over the letter j a tittle as well?

 

Maybe a junior "tittle".
