Just had this sent to me by my good friend Don Andrews.  Thought it might lighten things up a little on the forum:
 
 A rugby league fan was drinking in a Yorkshire bar, when
 he got a call on his mobile phone. He hung up, grinning
 from ear to ear, and ordered a round of drinks for
 everybody in the bar, announcing his wife had 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 the rugby fan just shrugged and replied, 'That's
 about average in Yorkshire... like I said, my boy's a
 typical Yorkshire baby boy. Gonna be a rugby league player.' 
 Congratulations showered him from all around, amid
 many exclamations of 'WOW!' One woman actually
 fainted due to sympathy pains. 
   
 Two weeks later, he returned to the bar. The bartender
 said, '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 answered, 'Twenty pounds.'
 The bartender was puzzled, concerned and a little
 suspicious. 'What happened? He already weighed 25
 pounds the day he was born!' 
   
 The Yorkshireman took a slow swig of his Samuel Smith's Bitter
 
 Beer, wiped his lips on his shirt sleeve, leant towards the bartender
 and proudly said,
  
  
   
 'We had him circumcised...'
