A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court, but
the custody of their children posed a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that
since she had brought the children into this world, she should
retain custody of them.
The man also wanted custody of his children. The judge asked for
his side of the story, too. After a long moment of silence, the man
rose from the chair and replied:
"Judge, when I put a dollar into a vending machine, and a
Pepsi comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?"
