A Newfoundlander is drinking in a New York bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. When the call ends, he orders drinks for everybody in the bar because, he announces, his wife has just produced a typical Newfoundland baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the Newfoundlander just shrugs, "That's about average up North, folks...like I said - my boy's a typical Newfoundland 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 the Newfoundlander returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of that typical Newfoundland baby that weighed 25 pounds at birth, aren't you? 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 Newfoundland father takes a slow swig from his Black Horse beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, "Had him circumcised".

God Bless Newfoundland!!!
