Never Believe an Irishman

An Irishman  was drinking in a bar in London when he gets a call on
his cell  phone.
He orders  drinks for everybody in the bar as he announces his wife
has just  produced a typical Irish baby  boy weighing 25 pounds.


Nobody can  believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but
the man just  shrugs, "That's  about average up our way, folks...
like I said… my  boy's a typical County Clare baby boy."

Two weeks  later the man returns to the bar.

The  bartender says, "Say, you're the  father of that typical Irish
baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth,  aren't you? Everybody's  been
making' bets about how big he'd be in two weeks .... so how much does
he weigh now?"

The proud  father answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The  bartender is puzzled and concerned. "What happened?" "He was 25
pounds  the day he was born."

The father  takes a slow swig of his Jameson Irish Whisky, wipes his
lips on his  shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says,





"Had him  circumcised."
