A joke

[+ deej]

A proud young Texan walked into a neighborhood bar in NYC and ordered himself a drink, and a round for everyone in the bar. Of course, this got everyone's interest and they all wanted to know why he was buying a round (not that anyone was complaining).

 

"My wife just had our first baby!" the man proudly told the bartender. Everyone in the place was immediately toasting him and cheering and, inevitably, someone started asking for details.

 

"He's a healthy 25-pound boy!" the man boasted.

 

There was of course immediate scoffing. Women got weak in the knees with sympathy pains. No way could that baby be 25 pounds but the young man assured everyone that, indeed, that's the way Texans did it. The child was actually 25 pounds. There was much celebrating and backslapping.

 

A couple of weeks later, the same young man went back into the bar. Because people remembered the birth of his whopping big 25 pound son (and the round of drinks), he was welcomed gladly. Sooner or later, because someone always asks, the bartender asked "so how big is that fine son of yours now?"

 

"19 pounds" the man proudly replied. After a rather stunned silence in the bar, the bartender asked incredulously "but how can that be? He was 25 pounds when he was born!"

 

The man replied "Had him circumcised."

This joke should have been part of the script for "Meet the Fockers"!

For another Texan joke (I can't remember - I might have told it here before - or not):

Picture it - Spring Break, the beach, noisy good looking crowd. Suddenly a group of knock-em-dead good looking Texan boys wearing next to nothing is coming into view from one direction and a bunch of big boobed yankee broads from another. Wait a minute, you can tell from their faces and the cut of their bikinis that they are very well educated. All in all, some prize catches on both sides. The leader of the boys walks up to the alpha female and says, "Where are y'all from?" The lady says, "Yale." So, OK, he does. "WHERE ARE Y'ALL FROM?'
