( I mean this joke in honor of all Italians for the very decent thing that the Italian Government just did recently -End of political speech)

Vito is the proud father of a long awaited baby. He is in the local establishment and the boys are congratulating him. Of course, he mentions the baby's sex and weight.

"It's a boy and he weighs 15 pounds" Cheers erupt. Women patrons wince and one woman faints in sympathy pains.

About a week later, Vito is back in the local bistro. Of course, he's asked how the baby is doing.

Vito says:" He's doing just fine!". Someone asks: " What does he weigh now?"

Vito says: "10 pounds"

The bar tender is puzzled. He asks Vito:" Didn't you say the boy weighed 15 pounds at birth and now he only weighs 10 pounds? How can you say he's doing fine?"

Vito flicks an ash off his cigar, takes a sip of his drink, smiles quietly and leans in to the bartender: " We just had him circumcised".
