2004 - Hospital SNAFU

You can substitute your own rivalry...

A graduate from University of Georgia, a graduate from Georgia Tech and a pig were in the hospital waiting room, each awaiting the birth of his first child.

Suddenly, the lights went out. Fortunately, power was restored shortly thereafter and the head nurse made her way to the waiting room.

"I've got good news and bad news, gentlemen and pig," she announced. "Despite the electrical outage, two healthy boys and one healthy piglet have been delivered. However, since the lights went out at the most inopportune time, we aren't sure which first-born belongs to whom. The only way we know to resolve the problem is to draw straws and have the winner choose first."

The three proud papas agreed and the UGA grad won the drawing.

He was escorted into the delivery room and looked at the three newborns for a painstakingly long time. Finally, with head bowed, he scooped up the piglet and headed for the door.

"Sir, are you quite certain that you've made the right choice," the nurse asked.

"No, I'm not," replied the Bulldog grad. "But I just couldn't run the risk of ending up with the Georgia Tech kid."
