Three men are sitting in the maternity ward of a hospital waiting for
the imminent birth of their respective children. One's an Englishman,
one a Scotsman and the other a Jamaican.
They are all very nervous and pacing the floor. All of a sudden the doctor bursts through the double doors saying "Gentlemen you won't believe this but your wives have all had their babies within 5 minutes of each other."
The men are beside themselves with happiness and joy. "And", said the doctor, "They have all had little boys." The fathers are ecstatic and congratulate each other over and over. "However, we do have one slight problem," the doctor said.
"In all the confusion we may have mixed the babies up getting them to the nursery and would be grateful if you could join us there to try and help identify them.
"With that the Scotsman raced past the doctor and bolted to the nursery. Once inside he picked up a dark skinned infant with dreadlocks saying," There's no doubt about it, this boy is mine!"
The doctor looked bewildered and said, "Well sir, of all the babies I would have thought that maybe this child could be of Jamaican descent."
"True", said the Scotsman, "but one of the other two is English and I'm not taking the risk."
