How many now?
A man goes to hospital with his wife who is due to give birth. After examining the wife, the midwife says to the man "It will be a couple hours yet so why don't you go down the pub and wait?"
Off he goes to the pub and after two hours of drinking he rings the maternity ward. The midwife says to him "Congratulations, you have a baby boy BUT there could be a twin so ring back in an hour or so".
After another hour in the pub, and more drinks being bought for him, he is more than a little drunk. He rings the maternity ward, and the midwife says "Congratulations you have twin boys BUT there could be another - there might be triplets! Ring back in another hour".
Another hour later, after more rounds and more celebratory drinks, he is completely wasted. He has difficulty in using his phone and instead of ringing the maternity ward, he mis-dials and ends up ringing the local cricket club.
When he hears a voice at the other end of the line, he shouts out "How many now?"
The voice at the other end replies "44 all out and the last one was a duck!".
