Calling Mel the Moyle

by David Safier

Oh me of little faith! I couldn't believe what AzBlueMeanie wrote was true, that circumcision records are now part of the Arizona Birther Bill.

Sure enough, HB 2177 states, if you can't get ahold of your long form birth certificate and you want to run for president in Arizona, you need two of the following:

(a) EARLY BAPTISMAL OR CIRCUMCISION CERTIFICATE.
(b) HOSPITAL BIRTH RECORD
(c) POSTPARTUM MEDICAL RECORD FOR THE MOTHER OR CHILD SIGNED BY THE  DOCTOR OR MIDWIFE OR THE PERSON WHO DELIVERED OR EXAMINED THE CHILD AFTER BIRTH.
(d) EARLY CENSUS RECORD.

For those of you not well versed in the art of circumcision, let Mel the "Moyle" (Moyle: a Jew trained in circumcision) explain it to you.

And you may not know how many people it takes to circumcise a whale. Four skin divers.
