A man and his young wife were in divorce court, and the custody of their children created a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she brought the children into this world, she should keep custody of them.

“Your Honor, when I put a dollar in a vending machine and a coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or to the machine?”
