An Irish rugby fan is drinking in an English bar,
when he gets a call on his mobile phone.
He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders
a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing
his wife has just given birth to a baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in
at 25 pounds, but the rugby fan just shrugs and replies, '
That's about average in Ireland ....Gonna be a rugby player.'
Congratulations showered him from all around, amid
many exclamations of 'WOW!' One woman actually
fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says,
'Say, aren't you the father of that baby that weighed 25
pounds at birth?
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, 'Twenty pounds.' The bartender
is puzzled, concerned and a little suspicious. 'What happened?
He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!'
The Irishman takes a slow swig of his Guinness, wipes his lips
on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says,
'Had him circumcised.'
