I am in the delivery room business and has seen husbands of all sorts and
sundry over the years. There are those who are so carried away
photographing the birth and the baby that they fail to see that their
spouses' anatomy is also recorded on film for the photo-finisher to study.
Obviously they also cannot effectively encourage their wives to push and
take pictures at the same time.
