A rugby league fan is drinking in a bar

A rugby league fan is drinking in a bar in Manchester 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 the rugby 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 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 returns to the same bar. The bar man 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 bar man 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 Bitter wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bar man and proudly says,




'Had him circumcised...'



Roy from Yorkshire :-D

reminds me of the tax man asking a catholic priest what they do with the drips from the candles,

why we save them up and get new candles made from it, says the Priest,

Ah! says the taxman, noting it in his book.........

asking a Rabbi what they do with the offcuts, from Circumcisions, We save them up the Rabbi says,
and what do you get in return, says the taxman, well when we get enough, we parcel them up and send them to the Revenuers.

why do you do that? was the question,
well says the rabbi, it appears that they have them recycled into a complete dick who goes round churches asking really stupid questions
