Aussie Baby

A West Aussie who is working on contract for 3 months in the UK is drinking in a local pub in England and gets a call on his mobile. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, he orders a round of drinks for everyone in the bar, because he announces that his wife back home has just produced a typical baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the West Aussie just shrugs "That's about average in WA. Like I said, my boy is a typical West Aussie baby boy. "

Congratulations showered him from all around and many exclamations of "Christ almighty" are heard. One woman even faints from sympathy pains.

Two weeks later the West Aussie returns to the bar.

The bartender recognises him and says "Everybody's been having bets about how big he'd be in 2 weeks. We were going to call you. So, how much does he weigh now? "

The proud father answers, "17 pounds." The bartender is puzzled and concerned. "What happened? He weighed 25 pounds the day he was born."

The West Aussie father takes a long s-l-o-w swig from his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans on the bar and proudly replies "Had him circumcised, mate"
