The joke is funny because it's based on a fallacy. Those who don't realize that may still be amused by it but not for the intended reason.
Finally, a birth control pill for men

When i went to AF Basic Training in Lackluster TX, the AF issued prescription glasses were referred to as "B.C's," short for "Birth Control glasses" Just imagine wearing them in any social situation for 18-24 year olds and "fill in the rest"
Were they BC's because the wearer could actually see how ugly his date was or because the date would discriminate against an ametropic freak?
Wearing them reduces the chance of reproducing to zero.Were they BC's because the wearer could actually see how ugly his date was or because the date would discriminate against an ametropic freak?
A Brief History Of The Military’s Unsightly ‘Birth Control Glasses’
Anyone who served in the U.S. armed forces in the last half-century or so is likely familiar with the standard-issue 'Birth Control Glasses.'

AF edition
Urban Dictionary: Birth Control Glasses
In the US Air Force the eyeglasses issued are thick, black-horned-rimmed eyeglasses that are so ugly, they make the person wearing them equally unappealing to the opposite sex, so there is virtually no danger of them impregnating or getting impregnated.

I like offending people that get offended.
Those are the glasses Robert DeNiro wore in the last scene of "Casino" (as he scans the Racing Form).
Comically ugly...graphic design taken too far.

Haha, I love the Cheers reference! It does feel like one of those moments where Woody would innocently drop something bizarre into the conversation and leave everyone scratching their heads until the punchline lands. And hey, about that birth control pill for men, it's about time, right? Definitely an interesting development worth exploring further. Check it out here: https://fherehab.com/learning/id-unknown-pill
Back before DNA testing they knew the possible blood types that The child could be if they looked at the blood types of both parents. And if The child was outside of the possibilities then the guy was considered not the father.At first I was thinking "Oh so a paternity test would come back negative.", but offspring blood types don't need to match the father's.
I just don't get the joke. I'm going to stop worrying about it now
Back in the mid-70s a cousin of mine was served papers to get blood work done for a paternity suit and he had never had any sexual relation with the young women who filed the suit. He was lucky that his blood type did not align up with possibly being the father. Back in those days they didn't have DNA testing and if it would have turned out that the father had the same blood type that he did he could have been found guilty and had to pay child support. So in a way guys are much better off today with DNA testing because the probability of an inaccurate paternity test is much much less than it used to be.
I heard the new pill for men works by putting one in your shoe.
It makes you limp.
