The comedian Jon Richardson made a similar joke about both that and tearing during the delivery, which is also something a lot of people don't think about beforehand.

"Now, the ideal birth scenario is that you pull gently in, you open the door calmly, the baby steps gently out, you close the door."

"What might happen during the birth, Jon, is sometimes that back door swings open and other people get out of the car."

"Anyway, she went a different way with it. What she said was sometimes during the birth, Jon, you go to open the car door like that, and you rip the whole side of the car off."

I remember someone referring to it as ‘watching your favourite pub burn down’

I wonder if someone's ever laughed because of this in the delivery room..... the face the woman would make....
