Brilliant

But what I want to know is, who uses a home circumcision service?

There is obviously money in it or they would be using an Astra Van instead of an Audi TT.

Circumcisions should be only be carried out if there is a genuine medical need, and in a hospital or clinic, imo.

Would you argue that this should be the case in many of the other medical procedures that are carried out by ambulance crew, Floo?

Did you hear about the blind circumcisionist who got the baby the wrong way round? I'm not really bothered myself, it's no skin off my nose.

Jeremy Kyle went into hospital to be circumcised but the surgeon refused to do the job, saying: "Can't be done, sorry - there's no end to this prick."

A surgeon retires from his long career as a specialist in circumcision. Throughtout his career he has saved hundreds of foreskins as mementos and now wishes to turn them into a souvenir. He takes his specimens to a leathersmith and asks him to make something out of them. A week later the surgeon returns and the leathersmith presents him with a wallet. "All those foreskins and you only made me a wallet?!" exclaims the surgeon. The leathersmith replies, "Yes, but if you stroke it, it becomes a briefcase."

Even if it was for legitimate medical reason why would an ambulance crew carry out a circumcision, they deal with patients in an emergency until they are in the care of medics in hospital?

I don't see anything humorous about the procedure especially when carried out on babies for religious reasons, which should be totally illegal.

But they also carry out minor procedures that would have been done in a hospital 20+ years ago.  From a medical pov, circumcision is a minor procedure.

Sorry Floo, but it makes me laugh, even the jews like these jokes, and make plenty of their own about the subject.

I do agree with you but it still makes me laugh; I'vd got this hair shirt,________
