A TexanPERSON FROM TEXAS, USA bought a round of drinks for everyone in the bar and announced that his wife had just given birth to a typical Texas baby, weighing a whopping twenty poundsABOUT 9 KILOGRAMS.

“Wow!” was the response from everyone at the barPLACE WHERE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS ARE SERVED.

A few days later, the Texan returned. The bartenderPERSON WHO SERVES DRINKS IN A BAR recognised him and asked, “Aren’t you the father of the baby who weighed twenty pounds at birth? How much does he weigh now?”

The proud father replied, “Ten pounds.”

The bartender said, “Why? I know babies lose some weight after birth, but ten pounds? He did weigh twenty pounds, didn’t he? What happened?”

The Texan answered, “Just had him circumcisedSURGICAL REMOVAL OF FORESKIN FROM THE PENIS!”


Let's look at these three: round of drinks, whopping, and circumcised. A round of drinks means buying a drink for everyone in your group at a bar. Whopping is an informal way to say something is extremely large or impressive. Circumcised refers to the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis.
  • He bought a round of drinks to celebrate his promotion.
  • That was a whopping slice of cake!
  • The baby was circumcised soon after birth.

This joke uses the past simple tense to tell a story about something that happened in the past, such as “the Texan bought a round of drinks” and “his wife had just given birth.” The punchline relies on exaggeration and wordplay: the baby’s dramatic weight loss is explained with a humorous and unexpected reason—he was circumcised!
  • She told the story at the dinner table.
  • He asked the doctor a question.
  • They laughed at the surprising answer.
