Yorkshire Baby - 01/04/2008
Posted: 01 Apr 2008, 00:00
A TSOM fan is drinking in a Yorkshire bar, when he gets a call on his mobile phone. He hangs up, grinning
from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing his wife has just given
birth to a typical Yorkshire baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but TSOM fan just shrugs and replies, ‘That’s about average in Yorkshire... like I said, my boy's a typical Yorkshire baby boy. Gonna be a Goff.’
Congratulations showered him from all around, amid many exclamations of ‘WOW!’ One woman actually
fainted due to sympathy pains.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar. The bartender says, ‘Say, aren’t you the father of that typical Yorkshire
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, ‘Twenty pounds.’
The bartender is puzzled, concerned and a little suspicious. ‘What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!’
The Yorkshireman takes a slow swig of his Samuel Smith's, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender
and proudly says, ‘Had him circumcised...’
p.s. I actually did post this after midnight - British Summer Time (BST) remember?!
