A Sunderland fan is drinking in his local bar, 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 Mackem baby boy weighing 25 pounds.

Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25
pounds, but the footy fan just shrugs and replies, 'That's
about average in Sunderland ... like I said, my boy's a
typical Mackem baby boy. Gonna be a Premiere 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 bar. The bartender
says, 'Say, aren't you the father of that typical Mackem
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 bartender is puzzled, concerned and a little
suspicious. 'What happened? He already weighed 25
pounds the day he was born!'

The Mackem takes a slow swig of his Beer,
wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender
and proudly says,'Had him circumcised...'
