The new baby

[bigmick]

An Irish rugby fan is drinking in an English bar, when he gets a call on his mobile phone. Sean hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing his wife Coleen has just given birth back home to a typical Irish baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but our hero just shrugs and replies, "Dat's about average in Oireland... like I said - me boy's one of ya typical Oirish baby boys. He’s gonna be a rugby player when he gets older. Probably in de front row!"

Congratulations showered him from all around, amid many exclamations of 'WOW!'.

Two weeks later, Sean returns to the bar. The barman says, "Say Paddy, aren't you the father of the baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth? The chums here have 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 about now."

The barman is puzzled, concerned and a little suspicious.

"What the devil has happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"

Sean takes a slow swig of his Guinness, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the barman and proudly says, "Had him circumcised!"
