so there's three pregnant women sitting in a doctors' surgery, all knitting baby clothes. they're knitting and nattering away, when the first woman takes out a bottle of pills and knocks a couple back.

"what was that?" ask the other two.

"vitamin b" says the woman, "it helps with baby's development".

the other two congratulate her on her responsible approach to her pregnancy, and they carry on knitting and nattering.

the second woman takes out some pills, and swallows them. the other two ask her what they were, and she replies
"folic acid supplement - i read that they help prevent birth defects".
the other two women are very impressed with her, and they all carry on knitting and nattering.

then the third woman takes some tablets, and the other two enquire what they were.

"thalidomide", she replies, knitting busily.

the other two are horrified. "thalidomide?! don't you know what that DOES to your child?!"

"yes", she replies, "but i'm not very good at sleeves..."
