AVERAGE TEXAN
A Texan 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 because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical Texas 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 down home, folks. Like I said, my boy's a typical Texas baby boy." Congratulations shower him from all round, and many exclamations of "WOW!" are heard. Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of that typical Texas baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth. 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. "What happened? You said he weighed 25 pounds the day he was born." The Texas father says, "We had him circumcised." |
