A South African is drinking in a New York bar when his cellphone rings.
 
He hangs up - grinning from ear to ear - and orders a round for the 
whole bar, announcing that his wife just gave birth to a 12kg baby boy.

Nobody can believe the weight but the South African just shrugs and 
says, "we make 'em big back home, okes". "My boy's typically South 
African". Congrats are showered on him and many exclamations of "WOW"
are heard. One woman even faints due to sympathy pains.

Two weeks later the South African returns to the same bar.

Barman says, "We were going to call you, everyone's been making bets as 
to how much your 12kg son weighs now."

The proud father answers that he now weighs 10kg's.

The barman, puzzled and concerned, asks, "What happened, he already 
weighed 12kg on the day he was born?"

The South African father takes a slow swig from his long neck Castle 
beer, wipes his lips on his khaki shirt, leans over to the bartender 
and says, "Had him circumcised, boet!"
