A mother, accompanied by her small daughter, were in New YorkCity. The

mother was trying to hail a cab, when her daughter noticed several wildly

dressed women who were loitering on a nearby street corner. The mother

finally hailed her cab and they both climbed in, at which point the daughter

asks her mother, "Mummie, what are all those ladies waiting for by that

corner?", to which the mother replies, "Those ladies are waiting for their

husbands to come home from work."

A nearby ham radio operator, upon hearing this exchange, turns to the mother
and says,

"Ahhhhhhh, C'mon lady!!!! Tell your daughter the truth!!!! For crying out

loud. They're hookers!"

A brief period of silence follows, and the daughter then asks,"Mummie, do

the ladies have any children?"

The mother replies, "Of course dear. Where do you think hams come from?"
