Cape Breton Baby Boy

A Cape Bretoner 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 Cape Breton baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25
pounds, but the Cape Bretoner just shrugs, "That's about
average down home, folks...like I said, my boy's a typical
Cape Breton 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 he returns to the bar. The bartender says,
"Say, you're the father of that typical Cape Breton baby that
weighed 25 pounds at birth. Everybody's been making 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 concerned.
"What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was
born." The Cape Breton father proudly says, "Had him circumcised".

I'm BC & I'll BC'ing Ya!
