A man and his wife were in divorce court

A man and his wife were in divorce court, haggling over which parent should retain custody of their children.

The mother gets up and says to the judge that since she brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.

The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for his justification.

After a long silence, the man slowly rose from his chair and replied, “Your Honor, when I put a dollar in a vending machine, and a Coke comes out, does the Coke belong to me or the machine?””
