Classic tastelessness

.

Three pregnant women were sitting in the doctor's office waiting for their regular checkup. Each of them was quietly knitting away, not talking.

All of a sudden an alarm goes off and the first woman puts down her knitting and takes out a tablet, swallows it and smiles at the other women. "Iron" she says "Good for the mother, good for the baby." And she continues to knit.

About ten minutes later another alarm goes off and the second woman puts down her knitting and takes out a tablet. She smiles at the other women and says "Calcium, good for the mother, good for the baby." Again she continues to knit.

Another ten minutes go by when the third woman's alarm goes off. She puts down her knitting and takes a tablet. The two other women look at her and she says "Thalydomide, I hate knitting sleeves."
