A Lancastrian buys a round of drinks for the entire bar, announcing that his wife has just produced “a typical Lancashire” baby boy weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations showered him from all around, along with many exclamations of “Wow!”
Two weeks later, the Lancastrian returns to the bar. The bartender says, “Say, you’re the father of the typical Lancashire baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?”
The proud father answers, “Seventeen pounds.”
The bartender, puzzled and concerned, asks, “Why? What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth.”
The Lancastrian father takes a slow swig from his pint of beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, “Had him circumcised.”
So congratulations and I hope she meets her Lancastrian boy one day.
