The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a
surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy
father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and
said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'
 

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby
photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a
sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'
 

'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've
been expecting you.'
 

'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did
you know babies are my specialty?'
 

'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and
have a seat !.

After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?'

'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on
the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes
the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'

'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'   

'Well,Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But
if we try several different positions and I shoot from six
or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the
results.'   

'My,that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith.

'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to
be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be
disappointed with that.'
 

'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby
pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.
 

'Oh, my God!'
Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their
mother was so difficult to work with.'

'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith.

'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job
done right. People were crowding around four and five deep
to get a good look'

'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too.
The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could
hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to
rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on
my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'
 

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your,
uh...equipment?'

'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod
and we can get to work right away.'

'Tripod?'

'Oh yes, Ma'am.
I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too
big to be held in the hand very long.'
Mrs. Smith fainted

I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.
