Knitting Problems: Thalidomide Time Bomb Edition

A women's knitters group is having a meeting, and they are all pregnant. They all talk about their pregnancies.

One woman says, "I'm taking vitamin C so my baby has a healthy immune system."

Another knitter says, "I'm taking folic acid to help my baby's brain."

Finally, one woman says, "I'm taking Thalidomide!"

All the women turn to her and say, "Thalidomide! Don't you know your baby could be born without arms?"

The woman shrugs her shoulders and says, "I don't know how to knit arms."

Listen up, chucklehead. You really don't get it? Okay, so Thalidomide was a drug given to pregnant women back in the day, but it caused serious birth defects, like, uh, no arms. The woman in the joke is gonna have a baby without arms but doesn't care cause she can't knit arms anyway. Get it now?
