25 POUNDS

An Italian is drinking in a New York bar when 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 announcing his wife had
produced a
typical Italian baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds,
but the
Italian guy just shrugs, "That's about average back home,
folks......like I said, my boy's a typical Italian bambino."

Congratulations showered him from all around, and many
exclamations of
"WOW"....one woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later he returns to the bar.

The bartender says, "Say you're the father of that typical
Italian baby
that weighed 25 pounds at birth. Everybody's been making bets
about
how big he'd be in two weeks. So how much does he weigh now?"

The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, concerned, and a little suspicious.
"What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was
born!"

The Italian father takes a long swig of Sambuca, wipes his lips
on his
shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says.....

"We had him circumcised."
