The Circumcision

Little Joey and Little Danny, both aged 5, are walking home from school.

Danny says:

- I won't be going to school tomorrow.

- Why not? - asks Joey.

- I have to go to the hospital - says Danny woefully.

- That's awful - says Joey.

- Why do you have to go there? Are you sick?

Danny shakes his head and replies:

- I have to have a circumcision.

Joey stops dead in his tracks, an expression of complete horror across his face:

- That's Horrible! - he cries:

- Why, I had that done when I was born, and I couldn't walk for MONTHS!!
