General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

A Yorkshire man is drinking in a London bar.

He gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical Yorkshire baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds but the Yorkshireman just shrugs. 'That's about average in Yorkshire , folks. Like I said, my boy's a typical Yorkshire baby boy.'

Congratulations showered him from all around and many exclamations of, 'WOW!' were heard. One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later the Yorkshireman returns to the bar.


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

The proud father answers, 'Seventeen pounds.' The bartender is puzzled and concerned. 'What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born.'

The Yorkshire father takes a slow swig from his Sam Smith's bear mug, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, 'Had him circumcised'
