An Italian named Luigi is drinking in a New York bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. Luigi hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar announcing that his wife had produced a typical Italian baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds,but Luigi just shrugs, "That's about average back home, folks. Like I said, my boy's a typical Italian bambino."

Congratulations showered him from all around, and many exclamations of "WOW!" One woman actually fainted due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later Luigi returns to the bar. The bartender says,"Say, you're the father of that typical Italian 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?"

Proud Luigi answers, "Seventeen pounds."

The bartender is puzzled, concerned, and a little suspicious. "What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds the day he was born!"

Luigi takes a long swig of Sambuca, wipes his lips on his shirtsleeve, leans into the bartender and says, "We had him circumcised."
