An Aussie Is Drinking In A New York Bar....

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 because, he announces,
his wife has just produced a typical Aussie baby boy weighing twenty-five
pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at twenty-five pounds,
but the Aussie just shrugs, "Mate, that's about average down under. Like I
said, my boy's a typical Aussie 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 Aussie swaggers into the bar again and says G'day to the
bartender. The bartender recognises him and says, "Say, you're the father
of that typical Aussie baby that weighed twenty-five 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 a bit concerned. "Only seventeen pounds? What
happened? He already weighed twenty-five pounds when he was born."

The Aussie father takes a slow swig from his stubby, wipes his lips on his
shirt sleeve, leans over to the bartender and proudly says, "Had him
circumcised."
