A Texan is drinking in a Louisiana bar when he gets a call on his cell phone. He orders drinks for everybody in the bar as he announces his wife has just produced a baby boy weighing 20 pounds. Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 20 pounds, but the Texan just shrugs, "That's about average in Texas , folks. . .like I said, my boy's a typical Texas baby boy."
Two weeks later the Texan returns to the bar. The bartender says, "Say, you're the father of the baby that weighed 20 pounds at birth, aren't you? 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, "Seventeen pounds."
The bartender is puzzled and concerned. "What happened? He was 20 pounds the day he was born."
The Texas father takes a slow swig from his beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says, "Had him circumcised."
