[REDCART]

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office,
trailed by 15 kids...

"WOW," the social worker exclaims, are they ALL YOURS?

"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs,
having heard that question a thousand times before.
She says, "The mother says sit down Leroy."

ALL the children rush to find seats.

"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here
to sign up. I'll need all your children's names."

"This one's my oldest - he is Leroy."

"OK, and who's next?" "Well, this one he is Leroy,
also."

The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One
by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named
Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl,
named Leighroy! "All right," says the caseworker. "I'm
seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?"

Their Mother replies, "Well, yes it makes it easier.
When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for
school, I yell,'Leroy!'

And when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!'
and they all comes a-runnin.

And if I need to stop the kid who's running into the
street, I just yell 'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's
the smartest idea I ever had, namin' them all Leroy."

The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then
wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, "But what
if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole
bunch?"

"I call them by their last names."

OK, so George Foreman conceived the thought first!

Good joke. The mother could of course be Irish-American, German-American, Jewish-American, Italian-American, etc.
