Old Joke #38

Thank Chef E for this one! A Texan is drinking in a Colorado bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. When he hangs up, he orders drinks for everybody in the bar because 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 Texan just shrugs, "That's about average in Texas, folks. My boy's a typical Texas baby boy." Two weeks later the Texan returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of that baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth, aren't you? Everybody's been making' bets about how big he'd be in two weeks. How much does he weigh now?" The Texan beams. "Seventeen pounds." The bartender is puzzled, and concerned. "What happened? He was 25 pounds the day he was born." The Texas father takes a slow swig from his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve and shrugs. "Had him circumcised".
