Four men found themselves in the waiting room of a hospital, all anxiously awaiting the news of their partners giving birth. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation. Each man paced back and forth, wondering what the outcome would be.

A nurse, bustling through the ward, approached the first man with a bright smile. “Congratulations!” she announced. “You are the proud father of twins!”

The man’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wow!” he exclaimed. “That’s incredible! It’s funny, actually, because I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!” He chuckled at the coincidence.

The nurse moved on to the second expectant father. “And congratulations to you as well!” she said. “You have triplets!”

This man was equally astonished. “Triplets!” he repeated. “What are the odds? I can’t believe it! You won’t believe this, but I’m an employee at the company 3M!”

The third man, overhearing these conversations, was already excited. When the nurse approached him, he could barely contain his enthusiasm. “Let me guess,” he said with a grin. “I’ve got quadruplets, right?”

The nurse nodded. “That’s right! Four beautiful babies!”

The man beamed. “That’s absolutely amazing!” he said. “It’s another crazy coincidence! I happen to work at the Four Seasons Hotel!”

While all this excitement was happening, the fourth man was slumped against the wall, repeatedly hitting his head against it. He looked utterly distraught.

The nurse, noticing his distress, walked over to him with concern. “Sir,” she asked, “are you alright? Are you having a headache? Can I get you something?”

The man looked up at her, his face a picture of despair. “No,” he groaned. “It’s not a headache. It’s much worse. You see,” he explained, “I work for 7UP!”
