Dangling a Carrot

My sister-in-law is expecting a baby boy, and we've reached the point where he should show up any day now. We're all waiting for the phone call. She and my brother are concerned about the timing, though, because his flight schedule is erratic and he really, really, really wants to be there for the birth. Thanks to modern medicine, inducing may be an option, but wouldn't it be nice if the little tyke could be coaxed out more gently?

Let's consider the gene pool from which he springs. I bet if you wave around a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and a foot-long roast beef sub, that guy will make his way out in a right hurry. Here, baby baby baby! Come get the pretty drink and gum the yummy sandwich!
